"Be right back!" Illasun told Estelle when they had reached Illasun's dorm room. She had let go of Estelle's grasp and entered the room shutting the door behind her.

"Okay." she managed to say to the blonde before the door closed with a smile. Without much thought she looked down at her now empty hand. She felt like something was missing from her hand, although her rings were still there and she generally carried nothing on her wrists or in the palms of her hands especially. Had she been holding Illasun's hand? The thought crossed her mind knowing she had and just like that her face was red again as she threw her hand down and looked away from the door. "Illasun must think I'm an idiot for my face being flustered all the time." She muttered under her breath.She took a second to look around the dorm hallway to see if anyone was there. She saw no one, and she took a sigh in relief. It wasn't a new concept for her to be so happy and touchy, but she was never sentimental touchy toward anyone. Holding hands wasn't sentimental, was it?

'Calm down. This means nothing, and I'm most positive you don't have a crush on her.' She thought to herself trying to be confident in her nonverbal words. 'Quit thinking about it so much.' She thought harshly at herself. She looked about the hall again, trying to divert her mind in another direction then what it was thinking about and finding little to no luck at finding that hopeful distraction.

It wasn't long til Illasun poked her head out of the room again closing the door behind her, "Sorry for the wait. It's a bit of a mess in there." She apologized while she locked the door.

"It was nothing." Estelle said with her warm smile. "I'm sure if my house was a mess I wouldn't want anyone in there either." she assured Illasun before looking down at the Illasun's hand at the costume she was holding. "I guess you're set then, right? Then let's go, shall we?" the goddess asked with a smirk before leading their way down the hallway and down the stairs and onto the outside world. The embarrassed spell on her face just wouldn't go away, but she allowed her speed to be calm enough for Illasun to walk by her.

She lead the way through the walk way to Estelle's house a bit behind and to the side of the staff's dormitory. The house was blue with eight lamps surrounding the house, four to each side. There were two cherry blossom trees that surrounded the stone pathway before the water. The house was build a little ways into the water but high off the water line. It also had a stone patched walkway in the water.

Estelle turned to Illasun as they came upon the stone walkway, "Keep a tight hold on your costume." she said with a smile. She didn't want her costume to get wet. It might ruin it if she tired to wash and/or dry it and the dance was tonight. She turned back to the house and began walking across the stones in the water. Her heels made a ticking sound against the stone with each step she took.

After she crossed the stone pathway she stopped on the wooden stairway to her house to remove her black heels from her feet and hold them in her hand while she walked up to the door. She opened the door after whispering something under her breath that seemed to be in tongue for how foreign the language seemed.

She opened the door and walked before taking in a deep breath. Her house held a deep comforting warm smell of vanilla. She jerked around quickly toward the door before Illasun could enter the house, "Oh, um, you can come in, Illasun." Of course she could come in, why couldn't she? They walked over here together, it would be rude to tell her she couldn't come in; but no, it wasn't like that. She hated she had to invite people into her house before they could actually enter but she had to remind herself it was for her own safety. She had her house enchanted by an ancient witch that kept everyone, despite of race, away from her house without her invitation first. It was the only place she could keep The Box without anyone getting a hold of it and the only place she could do the little experimenting she could with her power without being caught.

tab Azazel looked over at Srorizax as he began to laugh but then start to explain Luke's accidental behavior of kicking Azazel. Zack was right and Azazel knew it. After all, Lucifer did have his eyes set on Thorn we he laid out that kick. He had just accidentally hit the stressed one of the group instead. Azazel sighed. He was allowing himself to get too worked up over this date-thing. He almost wished he would of stuck to not having anything to do the date instead of coming with curiosity. Like Zack said, 'Curiosity killed the cat, you know.' before they had made thier seat in the bench.
tab "Now then." Zack said with a smile and a small chuckle afterwards.
tab "I mustn’t be good enough for you if you are getting this intense," said the blonde cupid.
tab Azazel gave Luke a blank stare. What was that suppose to mean? Not good enough for him? Only because Azazel got annoyed at Zack and Thorn for calling them cute together? He was joking, right? Of course he was. "Oh yeah." the red head joked back with a smirk before rolling his eyes, "You're so not good enough for me." he said, continuing his joke.
tab “I love this violent side of you. Does it come out more often? I may consider stealing you from Zack," they heard the purple witch say.
tab Srorizax smiled at Azazel noticing his choice of changing from being so serious to being actually joking before hearing Thorn's words. He looked up at Thorn while hearing a purpose cough coming from the red head on the opposite side of him. "He's actually normally boringly calm. Despite such a manner, I don't think I would appreciate you stealing anything from me." He said in a seemingly happy manner although he was dead serious, having a bright pointy smile to go along with his tone.
tab After Luke had apologized for hitting Azazel when he had meant to hit Thorn instead, Azazel let out a soft sigh as he looked down at the table for a split second before searching back up to meet Luke's, "It's fine. I'm just stressed. Sorry." He apologized too, feeling like yelling was very unnecessary way to take out his stress. "Anyways, I wanna get us drinks." the red head said. "Too bad it's an academy or we could get drinks that aren't virgins." he commented with a smile before turning to Srorizax, "Zack, could you let me out?"
tab "Sounds great. I haven't drank anything in over at least a decade." He said with a nod before getting out of the booth to let Azazel out. After he got out Zack sat back down and watched Azazel take off into the crowd of dancers in the middle of the floor to the other side of the dance club where the bartender was.
tab "What brings your attention to me and Luke… Zack. I know you’re not that kind inside. Why does such a humanoid being know my name? I don’t recall leaking that out…ever." Thorn asked after Azazel left.
tab Luke followed up with a question of his own too, “Who exactly are you?”
tab Zack laughed at their questions. He thought they were humorous, and even though he was a reaper he wasn't afraid to admit it, unlike his brother-- as far as Zack was aware. He looked back up Thorn, "You are correct. No normal human would know someone's name out of thin air, which is the reason why I am not a human even though I appear as one," He said with a pause to look at Luke for a second, back at Thorn, then back at Luke again, "But in all reality, how many people at this academy appear a human even though they are not?" He said purposely dragging out the answer for as long as he could with no real reason or point to it. "Take them for example." He said pointing toward the group of people dancing on the dance floor. "How much do you want to bet that at least half of them are not human?" He paused again as if waiting for a response, although he cared less if the responded or not and gave little time to answer if they were to before he began again, "Azazel is a human... or was, but either way, I learned you two names from his head."He smiled as he turned to look back up at Thorn, He was sure they were condused by now but lead on anyways, "He read your minds." He said then looked at Luke again, "Or should I say your mind." he changed his attention back upon Thorn, "Sent it to me, so I know you two's nicknames. Luke and Thorn. How cute." He teased turning to see Luke's expression. He would tell them he knew their real names too, but felt he should let them wonder a little more upon what he said before going into any deep details.

tab Azazel had reached the bar after getting pass all the people on the dance floor. "Why don't you try to go a different route next time? Don't want to spill your drinks when you go back." A random girl commented seeing him walk up to the bar.
tab He looked over at her and nodded his head, "Yeah, that might be a good idea." He said then looked around for the easiest route before spotting it quickly and turning back to the bar. "Hey, can you get me four Virgin Margaritas."
tab The bartender nodded as he began to fix the drinks, "Coming right up."
tab The random girl talking to him just a few seconds ago stood up from her seat and moved closer to Azazel in a seat near him, "Those virgin drinks are nothing like the real stuff."
tab Azazel looked back at the odd girl. She was wearing a short skirt and a tight small strap shirt. "Yeah. Not really." He said trying to cut off the girl so she wouldn't keep on talking to him so he can get back to his group.
tab "So, why are you getting four drinks? Having a party?" She said with a bright smile leaning into the table and toward him slightly.
tab "No, just a get together with some... friends." He said slowly backing up within his chair and looked the other way. The girl's boobs looked like they were about to pop out of the shirt. The bartender put four drinks on the table, "It's finished." He said before giving the girl a glare. "Thanks," Azazel said before standing up and grabbing two of the drinks. He frowned at the thought of not being able to get the other two and before he could even react the girl grabbed the other two glasses, "It's okay, I'll help you." she said with a smile, "Just lead the way."
tab Azazel frown at the thought of coming back to the table with the wannabe slut behind him but couldn't exactly reject the offer either so accepted it with a nod and began to lead the long way around the club back to the table to avoid the crowd.

tab Before Azazel could come back, Srorizax was finishing up his explaination to the last question Luke asked. Who exactly was he? Well, he;d tell you! "I am Srorizax and I am a Death God. I can control life at death with the snap of my finger. To say the least, I've been around awhile." He said just as he saw Azazel from the corner of his eye coming toward them. "And the zombie returns with the virgin drinks!" He announced out loud after standing up and walking toward him to gracefully grab the two drinks from his hand and hand them gently down for Luke and Thorn, "Where are the other two?"
tab Azazel heaved a sigh and took a seat in the booth but before he could answer the girl made a statement, "I have them." She said while eyeing the shinigami. "Here you go." She said bittersweet handing over the other two virgin drinks.
tab "Thanks cutie." He said taking the two drinks out of her hand and placing one in front of Azazel on the table and the other on the table where he was just sitting.
tab "Anything for you." She said sweetly making her fingers walk across his chest before noticing a girl behind him. "Oh," she said removing her hand and giving Thorn a distasteful look, "Is that your girlfriend?" She asked, hoping it wasn't.
tab Zack gave the young slutty student a warm smile, "Most definitely not." He half-whispered, not exactly trying to hide it but not being over dramatic about it either.
tab Azazel watched Zack and the odd girl talk the way they did which only made him heaved another sigh in annoyance while he placed his head in his hands which rested vertically on the table not too far from his own drink. With the way things was going, it would only take minutes, if that, for them to get it on like gorillas on goat weed, 'Please quit before you make me sick.' the red head prayed for mentally.

After the two had entered the house they had tried on their costumes in separate rooms. Illasun took the bathroom and Estelle took another room. Their costumes were simple. They hadn't shown their entire outfit with the accessories and what have you. They had to keep something a surprise to each other at the dance.

They had planned for Illasun to teach Estelle to dance at Estelle's house but they knew she was quick at learning things so figured they should just do it at the dance instead. Besides, they had other important things to work on before the dance, so shortly after seeing the costumes of each other they changed back into their normal clothing and Illasun went on her way. They would meet back up at the dance.

Due to her being the dean of the academy, she had to be there a lot earlier before everyone else, and felt it would be rude to rush her date about just to be at a dance an hour or so earlier then her date would need to be. She only needs to be there when the fun part begins anyways, right? Of course; and she knew that Illasun would not let her down.

Estelle had decided to get ready an hour or so after Illasun left her house for the Halloween dance. She had on a green and a little more detailed then the average tinkerbell dress, that is similar to a corset. Her hair was put up into a fancy bun on top of her head that curled all the way down with a small green bow on top to match it all. She also had golden cute strap shoes and cute green wings to finish her costume off.

After she got ready, she made her way to the ballroom, behind the activity center, and began to make sure everything was set up as she had wanted it to be based on the students wants and being appropriate enough for a school dance. The ballroom was normally closed and locked unless she was holding school dances.

The ballroom was covered in lights of orange, purple, blue, and red. There were black florescent lights on the ceiling. There were decorations of pumpkins, ghosts, bats, spiders, black cats, and rats everywhere. There was even a few fog machines about and black and blue strings hanging over the doorway entrance to the floor.

On the outside of the building there were pumpkins on both sides of the pathway to the ballroom entrance. Each pumpkin had a different creepy facial expression with a candle inside, lightening up the way.

For set up, they had Perseverance playing with Toccata and Fugue following shortly afterward. When people started piling in the ballroom as the dance party was beginning to start, the DJ put in Virtual Riot. The music was loud and beat against the walls. Since the doors were open, you could hear the music outside of the ballroom, even near the activity center.

There were tables on the right side of the ballroom as soon as you entered. The table carried all kinds of Halloween themed food (such as these and these for the easy-goers). There was also three huge bowls of punch on these tables too with more than enough cups for the event.

Estelle walked about the ballroom paying attention to these unimportant details again. Second, if not Triple, checking the pointless things again like she did every year before until her date or someone she was very familiar with came into the ballroom. She even manage to make conversation with the students and staff members that had came there really early.

"Yeah, well 'pretty sure' just doesn't cut it, Cas." Azazel replied to Caspian's almost confident answer on him thinking he was correct. "I bet you on our costumes that I am correct. The terms are simple: whoever is correct gets to pick the loser's costume for the party tonight; and you can't chicken out." Azazel challenged with a smirk. He hadn't an idea what he wanted Cas to wear, but he knew whatever it was it had to be embarrassing... or embarrassing to see someone in, at least. As soon as the challenge was made clear, they went on the search for the album. It wasn't long at all before Azazel had found the album. He flipped the CD case over quickly, the anticipation to prove Cas wrong was almost overbearing. Finding the year quickly he made a silent fist pump to the side of him and practically ran to find Cas to shove it in his face. Azazel gave Cas a wickedly wide grin after seeing Cas being defeated.

Around the same time, the girls shown up at their sides. Eva had asked Cas what he was thinking about being. Cas's reply lead Azazel to give a wide grin. "Sure did. I get to pick out his costume now." He manage to get out pridefully before Eva could ask him what he wanted to be and mentioned not being a zombie. Azazel faked a frown, "Well damn, why not? I actually wanted to be a zombie. I thought I could play the part well. What ever am I going to be now?" He asked sarcastically although his tone and facial expression acted as if he was serious. He looked over to Nichole after she had commented on being Mad Hatter, "Hm. Maybe. That'll be interesting... if they even have a Mad Hatter costume." The red head thought out loud. "Thanks, Nichole. What are you two thinking about going as?"

Before long, the five of them had entered the costume shop. There were costumes everywhere, over loaded with costumes. Azazel found this shocking since it was Halloween day and by now most of the good costumes where cleaned off the racks by people who were loaded with money and obsessed with costume shopping. Normally there would be no way for any store to order a new supplement by then before Halloween was over but it seemed this shop had managed to do just that... or not many people were loaded in the small town.

As soon as they entered the store, one of the employees came up to them asking them to buy something. As usual, Cas denied his offer and Azazel followed his actions and then he followed Nichole around as they looked at the costumes while the other three went their own way. He glanced through a lot of the costumes from the scary to the goofy costumes all the while thinking about a Mad Hatter costume. The more he thought about it, the more appealing it seemed and the more he wanted to do it. The mad hatter had make-up on though, doesn't he? Well the Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton did... the original was just.,, well, weird, to put it simple so of course he was going to go what seemed most appealing and the big nose, big headed original freak did not seem appealing whatsoever. What better way to show which mad hatter you're trying to go for then make sure you look like them completely? Sadly, this included makeup. Makeup can't be too hard... right? Hell, girls did it all the time and always do a good job at it too. If a girl can do it, then a guy can definitely do it... or so he thought confidently.

While looking through the costumes to find the wonder Mad Hatter costume he most definitely wanted he came across a white bunny costume. A wicked idea crossed his mind as he picked it off the rack and turned to find Cas only to see him relatively near him. "Hey Cas, I found you the perfect costume. You're going to love it." He insisted with a smirk, pulling it from his other closed arm and holding it out to him to look at it. "Put it on." He demanded, forcing the costume in Cas's hands only to get rejected and give it back to Azazel. "You remember our bet. You agreed to it. Don't be a puss." He demanded handing the costume to him again only to get rejected yet again. "Cas, I'm going to hurt you if you don't try this on right now." Azazel insisted, continuously getting rejected. "WEAR IT!" Azazel half-yelled, actually finding this humorous but not showing emotion, pushing his friend into the closest dressing room and throwing the costume at his face. "I'm not letting you out until you have it on." He demanded before closing the door. After a few complaints and hysterical laughing from Azazel, Cas finally came out of the dressing room wearing the costume. The laughing continued even after Cas's comment on seeing his body. Zaz seeing Cas is such a thing was priceless and the red head just couldn't let off enough to breathe (if he did breathe), let alone speak.

That was until he heard a rip sound toward Cas's direction and Cas exclaimed, "Oh s**t." Azazel had managed to calm himself enough to tell, or attempt to tell him to take it off quickly before one of the employees see him but before he could even get out the 'it off' part out, the manager had saw him and demanded him to pay for it. Azazel wouldn't have been so mean to make Cas suffer the entire party in a costume that was one size too small for him but since Cas had managed to rip it, it looked like they were going have to make do with it anyways. Looks like Cas was going to get even more embarrassed then had normally planned. This day was going great!

So the group decided to go with Alice in Wonderland theme. This wasn't expected at all but maybe one, or both, of the girls were planning it all along and that's the reason why they agree for Azazel to get a Mad Hatter costume, and that's exactly what he did. It looked like he was going as Mad Hatter for the party tonight while Nichole went as the Red Queen, Eva was going as Alice, and Cas... the white rabbit. Was it pure coincidence that Azazel had wanted Cas to wear a bunny outfit and that the girls wanted to go with the Alice in Wonderland theme or was this all secretly planned? He had no idea... he could just read their minds if he REALLY wanted to know but... didn't he already invade their personal space enough? ...and he thought Zack was creepy.

Well enough of the creep talk. The five of them were on their way to the food court after they had bought their costumes. Rumi had decided to take his own way to some Chinese or some other place while Cas had been overjoyed to go to a pretzel stand. He never understood why Cas liked those salted breaded twisted things but Cas was determined to get one. On the other hand, Azazel just got a milkshake just so he wouldn't make the others feel awkward for not eating even though he knew Eva didn't eat either. Soon afterward, they left town and went back to the academy where they had separated. Cas had followed Eva and Azazel had hugged and kissed Nichole on the cheek, wishing her a good luck and seeing her in a bit before heading his own way toward his dorm to put up his annoying bag he had been carrying around all day and to put away his costume.

■ ■ ■ Time Skip

It was almost time for the party and Cas was letting Azazel know it in the worst way. Cas was standing in the door way of Azazel's bathroom starring at Azazel while he carefully applied the weird white, red-ish pink, and blue make-up to his face to match the Mad Hatter. He already had the clothes on. He had on a light brown circle patterned shirt covered by a dark brown velvet jacket which a strange colorful chain hang in front of it while a pink and blue cloth hanged from his right side and some other gold and red strings hanged from his other side. The costume also contained pants that were stripped and stopped about 6 inches or so from the ankle so it shown off the socks more then enough. Oh, of course, the socks-- he had on a orange long sock on one foot and an purple long sock on the other foot and finished with some simple brown dress-ish shoes, and of course the most important part, the hat on his head and leaving his hair just the way it was.

Putting on make-up was probably the worst idea he could have possibly have and Cas's anticipation wasn't helping anything. Azazel applied white mascara to his eye lashes while Cas starred at him. 'This s**t is confusing.' He said before accidentally poking himself in the eye for the third time and grunting at annoyance. He was glad he hadn't put the contacts in just yet or they would have be ruined too. What made him think this was a good idea? He began to regret doing it now, but there was no way he cold just change his costume now. It was this or nothing!

"Are you done putting make up on yet, f*****t?" He heard Cas said.

Azazel stopped in the mid action of bringing the white mascara to his eye lashes again just to glare at Cas from the corner of his eye then looked back at the mirror and blinked, examining himself in the mirror for a short second before sighing in satisfactory and closing the mascara and dropping it into the sink, "Says the one who's wearing a bunny costume... f*****t." He uttered before Cas and managed to mock the White Rabbit saying and going back to look in the mirror, turning his face to either side making sure the symmetry and everything was relatively close to the original thing. Make-up was horrible. He couldn't understand why girls would spend half an hour or longer putting on make-up that just made your face feel like there was food or something all over it. "We're not late." He argued, turning away from the sink and grabbing his hat and putting it on his head, and to finally finish off his outfit he grabbed the colored contacts from a solution container and put them on in front of the mirror. Being officially finished with the costume he closed the container and turned toward Cas. "Get out of my way." He demanded as he walked toward the doorway and gently pushed his friend out of the way. He looked about the room before nodding, "Alright. Let's go." He said as he waited for his friend to leave the dorm room as he followed him out and closed the door behind them.

It wasn't long before they had crossed over the bridge, and followed the pathway toward the ballroom. As they reached it, he could hear the soft classical music coming to the end as the dubstep Halloween themed music began. He walked the pathway taking in the decor of the pumpkins and the decor he could see of the building. It was a gorgeous sight indeed. "Party!" He declared as they got closer with a nudge of his elbow into Cas's upper arm. He was wondering if Nichole and Eva had made it here by now or not and as they reached the doorway, his first mission seemed to find these two while he accidentally got distracted by the amazing Halloween decor of the place.

〖 Headmistress ♦ Location: Ballroom ♦ With: Illasun and Bella ♦ Attire: Costume ♦ Transform: N/A 〗


Estelle stopped in the middle of the random checking when she heard the oh-so-familiar voice from behind her. “Hi Estelle, you look absolutely adorable. I especially love all of the work you put into to this place, very festive." she heard the voice said before she turned around and seen the lady. It had been her lioness date... who was dressed up a lion! The compliment flushed Estelle's face of a light pink, invisible to see through the dimmed foggy room, light only given from the black lights above and the lights twisted about the room on the stairway, stage, and edges of the room.

"Hello, Illasun. T-thank you. You look just as adorable, if not more... and thank you. I do try to always do my best when it comes to such events." She said with a small grin back to her right before Bella and show up to their side to compliment Illasun and then apologize for being antisocial. Although it had been true for Bella being antisocial, it was quite the opposite of her, but instead of worrying about Bella being antisocial like she probably should have, she found herself actually getting tensed and holding her breath, "Hey, that's my--" she began, her tone seemed offended before shortly realizing what she was doing she blew out the breath she seemed to hold and turn completely beet red before trying to fix her mistake by acting like she hadn't said anything, "--uh, you look pretty good yourself, Bella." she attempted giving a nervous smile, hoping she would catch on to the first part of the sentence she began to say.

Why would she be over acting about it? Was a compliment and apologizing for being antisocial really worth the chaos of telling Bella that that was her date she was talking to? No, it wasn't, yet Estelle was about to. And for what reason? It wasn't like they were actually dating. Maybe it was Estelle's goddess instincts kicking in of being overly protective, but something in Estelle's mind made her reject the idea. Maybe she actually had feelings for Illasun and maybe at this very moment she was looking at Illasun wondering what she thought about Estelle.

[ Zaz/Azazel's Shinigami ■ Location: Garden > Nix's Dorm ■ With: Nix and Laris ■ Attire: This > Costume ■ Transform: Human > Imp > Human ]


Earlier that day Zack had met up with his newly found niece in the gardens right before his brother had accidentally came around there and tell Zack that she was his kid. This was a shocker and a half. Not to mention the child was a hybird, the other half being a human. If you knew Zack at all, you would know he hated humans. Regardless, this half-human was his blood and took after his gene. This means he had to like the thing, even if he didn't agree with Laris for sleeping with a human-- a married human out of all beings. Hell, not even Zack went after married people, and he was suppose to be the "desperate whore" out of the two.

After a short while of talking, and Nix coming out still not knowing who her parents were, Zack had offered the young reaper hybrid to teach her private lessons on controlling her shadows and becoming stronger and more conscious of her shadow controlling. She had eagerly agreed.

Before they had went their own ways, Zack remembered the Halloween dance being tonight and wondered if Nix was going to go so he asked him... no harm in asking, right? Well, that could depend. This time, Nix had frowned and told him no one asked her to go so she doesn't know if she was going. Zack realized he didn't had a date either and most people went to dances with a date, not to mention this girl was a teenager and to teenagers dances are something meaningful somehow, so... he asked her to be his "date" to the dance, and she agreed. Of course their theme was going to match.

■ ■ ■ Time Skip

Zack, in his imp form, flew quickly into the girl's dormitory. His costume was already finished but now he was here to help his date finish her outfit if she wasn't finished already. He didn't care to be seen, but getting places were always quicker whenever he was in his imp form, and even faster in shadow form. When he reached her room, he knocked on the door, half-way awaiting for her to answer, before transforming into human before a blink of an eye and opening the turning the knob of the door. "Hey Laris. Hey Nix," Zak greeted cheerfully. "How's the costume coming along?"

Zak had on black, with white stripes going downward, pants and a jacket. The button-ed up jacket exposed a part of his naked chest, and cut off in the front short an going long in the back while the back was tattered. He had on a tie of a bat's head with wing-like things coming out of it around his neck. His costume was finished with stitches across his mouth, reaching over an inch on both sides of his cheeks, and black contacts that blacked out his eyes. He held a small illusion that colored his hair and flesh white as well. In case it wasn't obvious by now, he was dressed up as Jack Skellignton from the 1993 movie named The Nightmare before Christmas, directed by Tim Burton. And Nix... well, she was dressed up as Sally.

Their reaction was a failure. They had manage to hear Estelle's words she accidentally blurted, but they thankfully did not act upon her words by asking her what she was going to say, instead her date had decided to go with asking Bella if she was going to dance. She mentally sighed in pleasure of avoiding confrontation.

It was too soon to be acting like this... or was it? Her and Illasun were friends way before the school was even built three years ago. A roughly five years, to be exact. There was plenty then enough time for feelings to have been developed between the two, but perhaps only Estelle felt these feelings and Illasun felt nothing for her.

Besides, Illasun was still mourning over her deceased husband that died at least a thousand years ago and Estelle still had feelings she couldn't explain for her deceased best friend. Maybe what was going through Estelle's head about Lubchenko's soul still living on if she never looses hope in it was the same thing going through Illasun's mind about Markaz. However, that was ten years ago, and Estelle had come to accept that she'll never see Lubchenko again-- she'll never forget him, but she had accepted his death and moved on. Why didn't Illasun?

No, maybe she was wrong. Maybe Illasun had gotten over Markaz's death, perhaps a bit protective about keeping his spirit within her but over all accepted the death and moved on. And perhaps the reason why Estelle felt Illasun did not feel the same for Estelle was simply because she couldn't. Illasun can't feel for Estelle because Illasun isn't gay. That had to be it! Estelle was hopelessly in love with someone that just couldn't work out. Estelle made a mental nod to this thought. She figured this was it, and she was going to have to accept it just like she accepted her best friend's death. That's easy enoug--

"Oh I would love to dance pretty little sphinxy, but only if you dance with me," Estelle heard the dragon in the pretty pink burlesque costume had said toward Estelle's date once again, interrupting her of her peacemaker thoughts.

Estelle felt herself tensing again without even thinking. Was the dragon testing her? She felt her hands clinching to the sides of her while her teeth were pressed shut. Biting your tongue, as they liked to call it. Her mind was racing, "Maybe we aren't meant to be together, but I won't allow you to take my first date away from me! She's my date therefore I get the first dance! Not you! What are you thinking, seriously?!" Her eyes were set on the dragon. If looks cold kill, Bella would be out solid.

The other part of her mind was continuously telling her that she's overreacting and to calm down, "Bella compliments everyone like that. You three have been friends for a good while now. You out of all people should know this and not overreact like this. They are your friends. Besides, Bella's not gay, and this is just a dance. You're suppose to have fun... so have fun!" It was literally like an angel and demon fighting upon her shoulders.

"It's just a dance." the goddess finally agreed with the angel, all the while trying to convince herself. She forced down a hard gulp and a deep sigh of frustration while looking down and unclenching her fists. She locked her eyes with Bella again and gave a rather fake, but appeared invitingly warm, smile. It seemed impossible for her to be okay with the thought of Illasun sharing the first dance with a woman she hadn't agree to come to the party with in the first place, but overall wanted all the peace a supernatural academy could offer, even if that meant she had to suffer. With slight hesitation, Estelle spoke out, "Sure," her tone was inviting. Not even a hence of jealousy exposed. She looked over toward Illasun then back at Bella again before beginning again, "As long as she is okay with it,"

[[OOC:; sorry if this reply comes out suck-ish. Totally not in the mood, but I'm bored (and tired) and I don't have anything for entertainment that I actually wanna do. So... I did this. Btw yoko, your costume images aren't working...]]

Zak walked over to the silverette while examining Laris's work as he was finishing up, "It looks great." He complimented his work before his brother had managed to ask Zak a question on the hair color and his name. He put a single finger to his chin as if he thinking, "I still prefer Zack, but call me as you wish..." he said while looking at Laris before turning to Nix again before speaking, "I think we should go red," taking the single finger away from his chin and opening the rest of the fingers, he placed his hand gently on Nix's head for a split second before letting the hand fall to his side again. "You look even more like Sally now." He assured her with a wide smile. He had created yet another small illusion on the hybrid to make her hair change color to match Sally's.

It was then that Nix had asked Zak how he had his eyes black after complimenting his costume while Laris had turned to put the paint up. "Well thank you, Nix." He said, casually tugging on the black and white over coat, "I made it myself. This entire outfit actually." He pointed as his eyeball while slightly leaning closer to her, "These are contacts." He began, standing back up to his full height while removing his hand, "They come in many differently colors, shapes, and sizes. These are purposely made to cover your entire eye and make them look black or missing."

The shinigami turned to Laris after he had finish putting up the paint, "I thought you said you were dressing up?" He asked, taking in the looks of Laris's outfit, recognizing it as his old attire from years ago. Zak looked at him suspiciously, "Please tell me you're not wearing that to the party... you're not even dressing up." He frowned slightly at the thought of his brother basically going to an Halloween party dressing up as himself.

Letting out a sigh, he focused upon Nix again, "Oh, we should probably go. I don't want you to be late for the dance. Never know what goes on an those things if you're not there the entire time. Could be fun." He announced confidently before holding out his open elbow to her, with his clenched fist toward his own body, awaiting her to put her arm through it. "Shall we go then, Miss Maudire?" He asked very formally then turning to Laris after getting Nix's reply, "You should come too, brother. You're boyfriend is there, I'm sure." He invited with an ending tease, not really knowing if Sebastian was there or not. "Wouldn't want anyone to still that dance floor with him, would we?" He gave out a smirk, trying to tease his brother as if Zak would try to dance with Sebby. There was a fat chance that was going to happen, but teasing Laris regardless was still fun to do. He let out a chuckle after his teasing question and decided to leave with Nix.

It wasn't long til they had shown up to the ballroom. Zak wasn't too keen of the decor of the place. He's been alive for a VERY long time and reaped souls from everywhere. Seeing a lot of decoration and little decoration was common to see, even with as pretty as the ballroom was, he still wasn't impressed. It took a lot to impress the shinigami legitimately. Despite such, he actually kept a very happy smile on him, just to make sure his niece had a really good night.

〖 Headmistress ♦ Location: Ballroom ♦ With: Illasun, Bella, Sebastian, and Jack ♦ Attire: Costume ♦ Transform: N/A 〗


((OOC: Yo jay, I love the Danny Phantom reference. I'm enjoying Jack already. :3 ...also, this reply is jumpy and shitty. I apologize.))

The Estelle was confused by Illasun's reply to Bella's offer. She didn't want to go, and instead held Estelle's hand with a small smile and called Estelle her date. This gave Estelle all sorts of mixed feelings which caused her face to glow a light red over her face. She was unsure if this was because she was embarrassed that they had notice her overreacting or because Illasun had held her hand in Estelle's. Perhaps it was both.

Without much thought, she gave Illasun's hand a small squeeze and quietly wondered if Estelle's hands were sweaty for allowing her body to get worked up as it did. They must have been. Even as a goddess, these human bodily functions still existed. That's what made gods, demigods, and the such are so easy to hide among other humans-- another great reason no one could tell if Estelle was a human or goddess.

It wasn't soon after Illasun had openly admitted she was Estelle's date Bella had giggled while she made her way behind them and hugged them both, giving air kisses to both their cheeks, "I love you both like sisters," she said the whispered in Estelle's ear, "I would never take the first dance from you Miss Lemaire." Estelle turned a slight darker red from embarrassment. Bella had knew exactly what Estelle was thinking and she didn't even say a word.

Her reply to Bella was a simple nodded and a stuttering "T-thank y-you."

"What a sweet thing to say Mr. Voros. On the other hand we were just talking about dance partners. Are you going to be like Estelle and Illasun here and only dance with Laris?" Estelle heard Bella teased once again.

The Goddess of the Supernaturals and Lubchenko Academy looked at Bella before Cas had walked pass them to compliment on the work to the place before hurrying away. She granted her attention toward Cas, sort of interrupting what she was going to say to Bella and quickly commented back, "Well thank you, Cas. I'm rather glad the students enjoy it as much as I do." Unaware of Cas's costume due to dim lights and being distracted with all the feelings that were racing in her head with Bella and Illasun.

She turned to Bella and continued with her group after hearing Sebastian's reply to Bella. "I never said you couldn't dance with her," She said hearing herself growing quickly quiet, and then into a mere whisper/mumble as she finished, "just not the first..." she said diverting eye contact with Bella but rather look down and Illasun and Estelle's hands entwined together. "..or the last." she simultaneously thought while she smiled, rather enjoying Illasun's hand being in hers and subconsciously wishing the moment would never end.

It was then that Jack had decided to make his appearance behind the crew, "Uh... Boo? Cool costumes, though I gotta say mine's the winner. Just look at the intricate detailing on the eye holes!"

Estelle giggled at Jack's comment, "I couldn't agree more." She agreed with a closed-eye-smile before re-opening her eyes, "I think you could win the costume contest with that most amazing bedding sheet." Estelle joked with a giggle. "I'm most pleased to see you've came, Jack."

Estelle listened to the conversation that brewed among the group before shortly realizing that Cas had talked to her earlier and he looked almost naked. Why had it take her so long to notice it? She should have noticed it without a second's delay. Was she allowing her guard down suddenly? This wasn't right, and she wasn't going to allow this to continue. Both her guard falling and Cas seemingly being half-naked.

[ Zaz/Undead ■ Location: Ballroom ■ With: Cas, Kieran, Deja, Yon, Raven, Kat, Winters, and Elle ■ Attire: costume ■ Music: DJ: Virtual Riot ]


((OOC: I made Azazel interacted with more people then the people I said Azazel was with. I put the "with" as in the people he actually interacted with a lot, not technically the people he is with the entire time or the only people he interacted with. EDIT:: I added more to this. I'm also interacting with Eka, Luke, Lilli, Maren, and Mari... with a greeting.))

"Yeah, they did put a lot of work into it," Azazel agreed as they walked up to the ballroom, "It looks great too." he added as they made their way through the entrance. He really took in the decor of the place as he walked into the ballroom. It was decorated with all of the creepy lights and pumpkins, rats, and everything; and the music only made it that much better as the dubstep beat and vibrated off the walls and echoing back into your ears. Everything was perfect for a Halloween night. He never expected the party would have been anything like this. Estelle sure knew how to throw a dance party and this was officially the best party he had ever been to, and it had only just began.

The two made their way farther into the Ballroom only seconds later for Cas to mention he was going to get some food and meet up with him later, then making his way toward the tables of food. Azazel nodded in reply, "Alright, see ya bro." The red head said as he watched his friend leave for a very short moment, wondering if maybe he should had offer Cas some sort of old blue dressy coat of some sort and a classic silver pocket watch before coming to the party. Seeing him in such a tight costume was actually surprisingly disturbing, and the fact he looked nothing like the white rabbit, except for the fact he was a bunny, from Alice in Wonderland only made it worst. Maybe if he found Zak, he could talk him into making such for Cas. Ha, fat chance! They hated each other. Azazel hadn't understood exactly why either.

A small green creature had seemed to suddenly appear while Azazel wondered away at what he could do so Cas could cover himself up a little more. The creature had first greeted him using Azazel's given nickname and then began to ramble on and on with question following another. He waited until the green creature that was named as Yon quit rambling before Azazel began to speak while looking at him from the corner of Azazel's eyes due to Yon sitting on Azazel's shoulder, "'Ello Yon. I'm glad to see you, and I'm glad to know that Ethika has gotten a new summon. I take it she's getting better at her summoning. I doubt this new summon you speak of is as bad as you make her out to be. After all, she is a fairy. Most small creatures I've ran into have been rude and annoying." he said, pausing for a second realizing he may had just offended the green summon, "Besides you, of course. You're adorable and surprisingly nice," He complimented taking his index finger and thumb to very gently pull on the bowtie around Yon's neck, making sure not to accidentally undo it. "And your outfit looks just as great," He put his hand down and looked down at his own attire, recalling all what Yon had rambled on about, "Yes, this is a costume.. and yes, I am unfortunately wearing make-up-- but only for this costume. I'm dressed up as the Mad Hatter from the movie Alice in Wonderland." he assured, looking back at Yon. "I don't guess you watch movies, do you?" The undead asked, awaiting his reply. There might have been a few questions Yon asked that Azazel had failed to answer but the questions could have also seemed fairly unimportant too.

After awhile the red head had talked to Yon, he had attempted his way amongst the crowd to the food tables as well before accidentally running into Caspian once again, "Oh, hi." Azazel greeted before his brother mentioned to him that he should try some of this worm cake thing that Cas had seemed to find a rather odd interest in. Azazel looked down at the worm cake thing he was eating. It literally look like dirt and mud, but the worms threw it off. Despite all, he was actually incredibly curious as to how it tasted, "I think I might." he had manage to get out before Cas continued to talk about the cake thing only to stop short when their friend had came up to them.

The brunette, also known as Kieran, had a rather familiar girl along the side of him. He had remembered this girl by the name of Deja. Wasn't she a gorgon... or was that just a rumor? He was certain she was a gorgon. That's the reason why she always were the sunglasses, to keep herself from hurting anyone.

Azazel smiled at Kieran's appearance and his odd greeting/bragging of the date. "Ah," he exerted as he took in Kieran's costume first. He was also shirtless and had some sort of gladiator costume. It actually look pretty cool... besides the fact it looked like he had on a skirt. The thought made him have to force back a smile from appearing on his face. "Look at you," he said, looking back at his friend's face. "Got yourself a date. Stepping up in the world, are we?" he teased jokingly, "Nice costume though, seriously."

Azazel diverted his attention from Kieran's costume to examine Deja's. He examined her, just like he had Kieran, from head to toe then back up to her head. He thought her costume was cute although perhaps maybe a little too short, from both the top and bottom... and even maybe a little too tight. Her boobs looked like they were about to flop out at any given moment. Azazel's face flushed a very light pink, invisible through the colored lights, "She's pretty too. Nice attire, Deja," he complimented chocking back the rather embarrassing thought only seconds ago.

He Then he noticed something off about the unicorn gorgon... what exactly was it? Then it suddenly clicked. She didn't have her sunglasses on. For a split second he made an eye-flinching wince but realized before he had made much of a expression that if she was going to turn anyone into stone, by now the entire place would be full of human statues in some awkward poses. Regardless his eyes had widen slightly at this sudden acknowledgement, "You're not going to attempt to kill anyone tonight, are you?" He asked jokingly once more with a half smirk.

It was about the same time someone else came up to their group. Who exactly was this person? Well Azazel was damn sure he knew who this person looked like, but also knew damn well that the person he looked like was not who he was; because the person who walked up to them looked just like... well, Azazel. The costume, the hair, everything to the T. His eyes were even the same colors as Azazel's.

The red head rose a single eyebrow at his fake twin as the twin approached him. "Azazel, my dear boy! Just look at you! You look fantastic! Great minds certainly do think alike when it comes to decisions, don't they?" The fake Azazel said as he went up to Azazel and wrapped an arm around him. "Though, I do have to admit. It is just a bit awkward that we happened to choose the same costume. You wouldn't mind changing, would you? I mean, I did go through all the trouble of getting this costume together." the clone continued. This clone was literally a perfect match to Azazel. The only differences Azazel pointed out right away was the clone's odd smell and choice of words.

Azazel gave the clone a blank expression, "Yeah, no. I like this costume. Why can't we both just be the Mad Hatter? It's not anymore awkward than having an odd twin you don't remember having." He said sarcastically keeping a completely straight face, then he suddenly see yet another familiar face. It was Nichole's friend, Kat. "Hello Kat," the red head greeted then turned back to Raven. "Well anyways, you have fun at being... not me, and I'm going go get some of this punch. Heard it was good s**t." He commented with a smirk before turning away and going toward the food table.

He looked at all the the cutesy and disgusting food that was laid about for the students and teachers grabs. He quickly wondered how many of the students or teachers actually ate any of the food since they were in a supernatural academy and not everyone, including himself and possibly Yon, actually ate food. They didn't need to, so why would they? For Azazel, the food will only come out a hour or so later completely not digested in the least. He glanced over the food, not really finding anything all that appetizing and slowly heading toward the punch bowls. They walked past a group that Ethika was in while looking at the food. "Hello, Eka, Luke, Ladies" He greeted with an invitingly warm smile and a small hand gesture. He spoke ladies to the other three females he was unfamiliar with. He didn't want to seem rude and had already made his wanted greeting toward Eka, he might as well greet the others as well so he didn't appear rude.

He had eventually made his way to the the punch bowl and grabbed a plastic cup and looked at oddly appetizing but disgusting punch in front of him before noticing someone beside him. He examined the man beside him. He hadn't gotten a costume but had attended the party anyways. Maybe he was offended by the celebration of Halloween? Perhaps it was a religious thing? Wait, no-- religious people who didn't like Halloween would purposely skip out on this. This silverette, however decided to join. Maybe it was some other unknown past event? Yeah, that had to be it. He gave the younger silverette a warm smile. "Heya. How's the punch?" He asked as he kindly continued to make his own cup of punch, awaiting for the male's answer and without taking his eyes off the male. "My name's Azazel. What's yours?" He asked then noticed the fairy on the opposite side of the male on his shoulder. 'Is that a fairy?' he thought which simultaneously reminded him of his unique green friend on his shoulder. He mentally shook of the thought and began to take a sip of his punch but luckily decided to look down right before the cup had managed to touch his lips.

There were weird worms crawling within the cup. The worms looked they existed from another planet. The worms had huge eye balls and they seemed to all stare at him.

"Wah!" He yelped accidentally tossing the cup into the air and landing on his newly met acquaintance. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" He said noticing the creepy-a** worms and turned into punch once again and drenching the silverette while he turned to grab some napkins nearby and attempted to dry the newly met male off. "Oh god. What a terrible impression." He said as he patted the man's clothes with the napkins while looking over at the punch bowl. There wasn't creepy worms in there earlier. He was sure of it. But now there was... full of them... and the cup of worms he had just seconds ago had turned itself back into the punch he once wanted. Someone must have been playing a trick on him, he just knew it... but first he wanted to make amends to the man he accidentally got wet.

((OOC: Haha, ouch. That sort of hurt my feelings what Jack said about Estelle. XDD But I was too busy laughing at it all the while. I'm pretty sure that's the first time she's been called a b***h. Jack misinterprets her intentions, doesn't he? Hehe. I guess I should mention that I never intentionally planned for Estelle to force students or staff to come to the party, it was just very encouraged... because Estelle is a happy-going social bug. Anyways, sorry for the delay in reply. I had to help my friend move in and I've been busy with work and school too so yay busyness. Oh, one more thing: Elle is in the punch bowl throwing her illusion of worms at everyone who is nearby the punch. I've noticed people making replies about going to the punch bowl and not mention anything about the fairy throwing punch at them. Thank you. Anywhoziers, moving on to what you've guys' been waiting for...))

"I actually do enjoy your costume, Jack." Estelle assured. Of course his costume wasn't of much but it was the thought that count and Jack gave something of a thought for just coming to the party... right? Then he spoke again. What did he mean he didn't have a choice? Of course he had a choice. She never enforced anyone to go to these social get togethers, she just strongly encouraged it. Even though she was super social and wanted everyone to social together as a family rather than individual cliques, didn't mean everyone had to. She wanted this supernatural academy to be just as "normal" as normal could get with a very open-minded acceptance to variety of races and powers, all while having fun, meeting new people, and gaining new friends. Social get togethers seemed to help everyone with their supernatural, normality, and entertainment at it's best. "Well... technically, you did." She said, kind of confused at why he would say that as if he didn't have a choice and was forced to go. She hadn't said he had to go, did she? She was certain she didn't.

The goddess placed her attention back on Illasun as she mentioned the boy who had just came across them literally seconds ago. Caspian. And her thoughts were back on track. His costume was inappropriate just as she was thinking. She was still slightly annoyed at herself for allowing herself to get distracted and not noticing Caspian's costume. How could she not have noticed it? She nodded as soon as Illasun finished her words, "I was just thinking the same thing, actually..." she assured the lioness. It wasn't soon afterward that Jack decided to ask if he should fix the problem. Would it be a good thing for him to fix something as such? He didn't seem to be one to be really professional, then again he had lived several centuries by himself. Estelle wasn't sure how to answer his offer and without another second passing, Jack decided to take off and fix the problem at hand. He'd left their company to work at the whole Caspian problem. Estelle looked back over to Illasun, "I'm sure he'll have everything under control," She said, "I'll check him lat--" she said only to get distracted by the new approaching being.

It was Alice. She was wearing a long red dress with a slit on the side that went up to her thigh. It wasn't unlike Alice to wear something so show-offish, but considering it was Halloween and it was sort of hard to come across a non-slut-magnet costume-- there wasn't much room for Estelle to say. Besides her costume wasn't the cleanest costume here either, and Alice's was actually pretty decent considering. This made her think back about Caspian's costume. Was his costume really that bad? She remember the creases in the boy's costume showing every muscle, ever line, every.... everything. She felt her face heat with embarrassment of seeing one of her student's in such a fashion. She had suddenly really hoped Jack had the problem solved. Right now she had a new issue was set in mind. Alice was whispering something into Illasun's ear. Just because she was a succubus didn't mean she could have her way with anyone she wanted to. What was with everyone all about Illasun today? Were they normally out to hit on Illasun or was it just the fact it was obvious they were a... could you even consider it a "thing?"... for the night? Estelle felt herself giving the Jessica Rabbit succubus a narrowing of the eye, suspicious as to what she had said to her cute lioness of a date.

The goddess actually couldn't wait for people to quit coming up to them so the two of them could have their first dance before someone tried to steal it away again, but no. Of course it was never completely perfect for Estelle. Minutes would have been wasted talking to the new people as they shown up to her side to speak shortly only to annoy her slightly then disappear with another person into the fog of the ballroom, under the black lights of the creepy set room dancing in perfect harmony. Just like that, another appeared. It was Mirari. It was actually a pleasant surprise to see hir. It would have been hard to recognize hir if ze wasn't the only person who could actually make their body turn into something like that, "Hello, Mirari. Happy Halloween to you too! Glad to see you've made it. Lovely costume too, I must add." She said, forcing herself to hold back the little bit of annoyance in the back of her mind at Alice and giving her coworker a rather small but warm smile. Her tone didn't seem at all bothered either, in fact-- it seemed happy.

It was then the room went silent, completely still. However being the powerful goddess she was, she was immune to the spell and was able to examine everyone and notice the two who were tangoing nearly seconds ago. Was that a student he was dancing with? She frowned at the thought. She couldn't believe a staff member would actually allow themselves to be in such a situation with a student. However, this was a party and this was music they were dancing to. However she didn't remember the DJ putting any kind of tango music on, and as she recalled the DJ hadn't. Besides, she didn't think any of the students knew how to tango. She surely didn't know how to tango, so why would anyone else? Her eyes examined as much as she could, trying to quickly find the source and while on the trip she came to see Alice taking of peice of hair out of Illasun's face. Again? Did Alice go out of her way to annoy Illasun and Estelle? Sometimes she could swear Alice. Her eyes wondered a little longer, on search for that source once again, she noticed a person moving as a spotlight flashed on centered the man in the middle of the room. She awaited her next move, wanting to see the purpose of the man's plans. From where she was, it was hard to tell exactly who it was.

The man spoke with what appeared to be a woman's voice and broke the silence that seemed to have lasted only a few seconds. Music began to play again but different then what it was. It played El Tango de Roxanne, not a song she was very familiar with. God, the voice of the song being played was quiet hideous. Then people from across the ballroom randomly began to dance the tango. One of the first people to began to dance was Raven, the man she saw tango with a student only seconds ago, as he began to make movements to the beat of the song while keeping his eyes locked on Estelle. 'What is he doing? Is he trying to get me to dance with him? I can't dance, I won't. Besides, I'm Illasun's date... she thought negatively as she felt her body smiling at her dark readed co-worker as he beckoned her over to him and she did it with ease, allowing her hand to let go of Illasun's as her body bounced perfectly with the music toward the man. 'What the-- I can't... I'm moving without permission... She growled mentally as she made her way over to him and she felt her costume changing. She was no longer wearing the green tinkerbell costume she had came to the dance with. Instead her dress turned more simple, darker. Her slippers turned into heels. Her make-up turned darker. If her whistle wasn't enchanted, it would have disappeared too. Her entire attire within a split second changed into a black and red tango outfit.

Her body collided with Raven's gently and smoothly as she kept on a smile as if she were happy to be to dance a dance she knew nothing about with a guy she barely knew. She was mentally wanting to run away but couldn't find the energy to allow herself to pull away from their perfect harmony tango dancing. She wanted Illasun to be her first dance partner. Thankfully the dance between Raven and her seemed to not last long as Raven let go, but he didn't stop there. No, instead he beckoned Estelle's date, Illasun, over to him. Estelle mentally frowned, unable to control the smiling face she proposed to the new dancing couple. She really disliked the idea of them dancing. In fact, she disliked the idea of anyone dancing with her date. Why can't just one night be considerate perfect for Estelle? Why did someone just had to mess everything up? All she wanted was one night, for one dance, with one person she couldn't help but to have feelings for. She didn't want to dance with the demonic figure who was now dancing with Illasun.

For a brief moment, she was able to control herself and took this opportunity to look about the room to see the one who was controlling them. The male who spoke with a female voice with a spotlight on him. She saw him, the face was familiar and she instantly knew who it was. Luke. Wait... Lucifer? The cupid? That wasn't right. No cupid could do this, no matter the age. This was a hex. Only a old witch could create something like this. A witch like the one she and Lubchenko was friends with. The one who enchanted her house and made her gargoyles and the whistle. Then she remembered a witch had possessed him before he'd came to the school, so they shared the same body, but how exactly old was the witch who possessed him? She had wanted to soul read him before her body was dragged back into rhythm as the succubus who were just seemingly hitting on her date. No, I am not dancing with you. Don't touch me. she refused as her body seemed to want to dance with Alice. They collided, and began. They both twisted. Seemingly to fight for the female stand-point.

Meanwhile she couldn't help but to notice the amount of students and teachers as they randomly grabbed another one and began the tango to the hideous lyrical song that played in the background. The couples she noticed was people who Estelle would have never guessed to doing the tango together in a million years. They didn't seem like the type, especially not with each other... and then she noticed Jack and Zak dancing. There was something definitely wrong about this. Of course there was, she was dancing with the huge boobed succubus. Estelle had more respect for herself then dance with someone who literally sleeped with people for a living, but was it really so bad? After all, it was just a dance. It wasn't like Alice was going to make a move on her or something. Now if she was doing that, then that would be a whole new story, and right now it was just a dance that she, itself, didn't approve of. Mainly because she wasn't dancing with her date, and instead she was dancing with the person her date hated while Illasun was dancing with some demonic jester man.

Estelle was really annoyed dancing with the succubus, in all reality, but her face shown off as it was happy and exciting. She wanted to run away that much more from the skanky being she was twirling around and who twirled her around then she did from the demonic jester man. Just who exactly did this witch think she was controlling the crowd into dancing? Did she have any idea what Estelle was capable of? She was a goddess, for heaven's sake-- a powerful one who was ordered to be killed at birth. She wasn't just powerful in the things she did, but she was smart, and a quick learner. For the love of everything, could the witch at least make Estelle dance with the woman she was holding hands with a minute or so ago? No, she just had to put the two second to least most compatible people in the ballroom together, Estelle and Alice. First being Jack and Srorizax.

[[OOC: There is a dance going on, but don't worry about it. I'm going to stop it anyways with my next Estelle post, Yoko. Also, I apologize on taking so long to reply... I'll get another reply for Estelle before too long. Also, if anyone is up for the challenge I have the gargoyles that I would like drawn. There's a request thread in my siggy. ]]

Zak had walked to the ballroom with his niece in his linked arm. It was weird to him to ever see himself in such a situation, you know, being nice and going to a dance with a person he had no plans on getting anything from. She was his brother's daughter. Even that thought seemed weird to him. His brother was drunk and allowed himself to get close to a human and... this happened? The cute white head, with the red head illusion, in his arm? It was a shame. A part of him wished Laris would just tell the girl he is her father while the other side overruled and didn't want to care about it. She's blood and that's all that mattered.

"Take good care of her, Zack. If anything happens let me know." Srorizax's brother mentioned before taking off before finding his boyfriend who seemed to be dancing with another woman. "Of course." He promised his brother before their departure. He looked down at his niece, 'After I solve the issue first.' he mentally noted to the side with a warm smile at the illuminated red-head, "Beautiful, isn't it?" He asked noticing her looking about the room in awe.

It wasn't too long after he'd ask her the question that another female had shown up behind them and gently tapped Zak on the shoulder. He turned around to look at the girl named Veronyka, unlinking his arm with his niece. She seemed to fumble over her words. Was she nervous to be talking to someone she's never met? He gave the brunette in the steampunk outfit a smile in attempts to make her a little more comfortable around him but due to the dark paint that covered his face and the unnatural creepy height he stood at, not including the creepy atmosphere of the place, it may just have made her felt a little less comfortable. Regardless, he wasn't going to let his smile be the only thing to help ease her nerves, "What a beautiful name, Veronyka. It's a pleasure to meet you." He said with a small bow while he held out a held a hand for her to take. Whenever she did, he brought her hand gently to his mouth and kissed her middle knuckle while his other hand rested on his back before putting their hands back down. "My name is Srorizax Ionos, but please, just call me Zak," he said before letting go of her hand then looking back over his niece and nodded as she attempted to introduce herself. He gave her a reassuring smile before looking back at the brunette in front of them, "You're not talking too much, hun. You're not talking enough. Who is this person you are looking for?" He asked, hoping she would give him a name instead of a description. Looking for someone with a name, as a reaper who can soul read, was always easier then looking for someone who matches a description.

She had opened her mouth as if she were going to speak the name of the said person she was looking for and a description. Aldra Gough was it? He was sure he heard that correctly. Sure it wouldn't have been hard to find this Aldra Gough if it weren't for the lights turning off and everything going completely pitch black for a brief moment while his niece beside him let out a little yelp and clinged onto Zak. As a reaction Zak hugged her closely to her. Then he felt himself freeze within the hug before a single bright light came back on and centered someone in the middle of the dance room. Since his back was turned to it, he couldn't see it right away. He tried to turn to see who this was but he was unable to move his body whatsoever. "What the hell?!" He manage to say as a mumble. He wasn't able to move his body let alone let alone look around to see who it was in the middle of the dance floor.

Suddenly his body turned around and let go of Nix as he felt his outfit changing in that of a dark tango outfit with a red tie. He's body persuade into perfect rhythm with the music that played in the background. He felt the crowd moving as his body forced itself between the crowd until it caught eye of it's suppose to be dancer.

He hadn't even want to leave his niece or the cute foreign girl in steampunk's side, let alone dance to a horrible remix of a tango song with someone he hadn't planned on dancing with in the first place. Maybe if it was Alice or some other hottie he would be okay dancing with as long as he had control over his own body, but no instead he was dancing against his own will and worst of all he wasn't dancing with a hottie. No. Instead it was with a male. Seriously? A male out of all beings here he could be dancing with?! He'd rather dance with a female human then a male anything. He felt his body beckoned the white haired male over to him as his mind raced about wanting to run away, to not go near the man.

As the white haird male and Zak joined hands, he felt his body spend him into him with a welcoming sensual smile as their faces were literally inches away from each others while their bodies touched. 'Ahhh!! What the hell? No! No! No! Quit this! This is disgusting-- wrong! What the actual ********?!' he mentally screamed in seemingly agony as his hands forcefully brushed over Jack's lower abdominal stomach and hip before reaching for his hand again and spin a halfway out before their opposite hands meet and they began dancing in seemingly perfect harmony and rhythm to the song.

[[OOC: Meh... sorry for the bs reply.]]

The music and dancing went on for a moment longer before Estelle started to get really annoyed at Alice for getting as close to her face as she was even though she assumed it was a part of tangoing, she didn't like it. Not with Alice, at least. She also noticed Illasun and Raven's face getting close to each other too. It wasn't like it was just once, it was several times. The two couples as they danced, along with the whole room, made really close facial motions before backing back up again to twirl, pop, and tip all fancy-like and romantically. But instead of romance, Estelle felt annoyance as the heat in her body continued to radiate with every other beat. Finally she had enough.

As the movement around her felt like air bushing her into the direction the director wanted her to go, Estelle stopped in the mist of another one of their romantically dances, "I'm not doing this anymore." She said harshly just high enough for the succubus in front of her to hear her. "Quit dancing." She demanded as she stood completely still for a short moment before she saw her once-was dancer quit dancing before her. Her powers working as magical word spell without ever saying anything magical. She looked over to Illasun and Raven who were still dancing and pointed at them. In whatever dance move they were in as this given moment they would have had full control over their actions now. Although this was making her feel a little weak, her motivation was running wild-- mad to stop the person who created this in the first place.

"Lucifer Caliber." She called out to him as she met up with the person in the middle of the spotlight to catch his or her attention, whoever it was that was in charge at this very moment of time. She brought her hand up toward the spotlight, keeping her eyes on the cupid in front of her as the spotlight made a crackling sound and turned black and the whole room turned pitch black once again. The light didn't break, just turned off so no one could see what Estelle was going to do. She had never planned on using her powers in public before-- of course, anything outside of her shape-shifting that was; but her emotions was running wild and it didn't help any whatsoever that someone had decided to go out of their way to force people to dance with other people that they had in no way wanted to dance in the first place.

She put on her hand on Luke's shoulder to pull him around to look at Estelle, "Sleep." she whispered in the near quiet room right before she touched Luke's forehead and forced him and the witch inside him to fall dead asleep in the middle of the ballroom. Of course the sleep wouldn't last longer than a few seconds but it would make the victim slightly weaker and confused when it woke back up. It would stop them from doing anything dramatic again for another hour at least. While the room was still pitch black she teleported herself away from the body back to her original stand-point beside Alice. Then the lights clicked back on back to the way they were originally on before Thorn decided to take over the ballroom and changed everyone to what she wanted them to. This also changed everyone's outfits and everything back to what they were before the spell took effect.

The goddess looked down at her costume after feeling her heels tuning into flats and seeing the cute green fairy outfit on her like the way she came up to the party. 'Good, it worked. This is way better...' she thought positively to herself letting out a heavy sigh then looking shortly around the room for Illausn before finding her shortly and making her way over to her gently pushing the crowd of people out of her way.

She hadn't want to stick around Alice any longer than she had to. The near thought of them dancing again was sickening. She didn't hate the succubus but she wasn't a huge fan of the succubus/incubus race in the least either. In fact, she looked down upon them-- and that wasn't because she was a goddess. She swore if she were a defenseless human, she would still dislike the species or really anything related to hell.

"Hey, Illasun." She said with a smile as she met up to her. She was actually quite disappointed her first dance wasn't with the blonde she originally wanted to dance with, but she wasn't going to allow it to ruin her night. They still had plenty of songs to dance to, right? Besides a dance is all about having fun. At least that's what she said and she wanted to believe that this dance was going to be fun. Not a thing could ruin this night. "I'm guessing someone's powers got out of whack," she assured her friend with a smile, acting as if everything that happened was perfectly fine and she hadn't done anything to stop it, "Oh well. It seems the problem is solved?" She questioned with a questionable tone. "Are you okay?" She genuinely wondered before speaking of the person she just forced asleep seconds ago once again, "Should we try to find the person who's powers got all wacky and see if they need any help?" She said acting concerned, her face even shown the same amount of concern that her voice did. It felt so normal to lie about using her powers that she literally didn't even feel guilty about it.

"I'm sorry about the dance," the goddess continued to assure the blonde sphinx, "but we can always dance the last song, right?" She asked with a nervous smile before remembering the situation that happened before the tango thing ever happened. Caspian. "Oh my gosh. I'm sorry, but I totally forgot! I need to tell Caspian something." She said and without a second thought grabbed Illasun's hand and gently made her way through the crowd of people searching for the black haired male in a cut up rabbit suit.

It wasn't long until she finally came up to him, "Caspian. I need to talk to you." the dean mentioned keeping her hand in hand with Illausn's, with a small pause before realizing he was heading toward his friends, "...alone." Of course, being alone in a room full of people was physically impossible and it wasn't like this was some exciting news for Caspian that no one else could hear. By the time she would have finished the sentence the entire school could have known and been under stress. However, Estelle wasn't asked by Eva to tell everyone-- just Cas. She had no room to be asking questions so just allowed the question wonder the air.

She walked a little ways away from his friends and his sociable mates. She paused for a moment longer, examining his costume once again-- it really did show a little too much, but should she even get on to him for wearing it? She mentally shrugged it off looking at him with a concerned look, "I don't know how to mention this, so I'm just going to tell you bluntly," she said with another pause. This pausing, she imagined, must have been driving the seemingly ADHD boy mad. No more pausing. Just say it! "You're friend, Evangeline, has left the campus for an undetermined amount of time tonight. She wanted me to tell you, 'bye.' She seemed to be in a hurry. I'm really sorry."

"Oh my name is..." Winters was about to introduce himself before rudely getting attacked by Azazel dumping his punch onto him which made Azazel feel the need to help him clean his clothes or get the soak up the liquid from his clothes with napkins that were nearby. As they both tapped Winters dry, he continued his introduction, "Don't worry about it. She likes picking on people especially at my expense. My name is Winters a pleasure to meet you Azazel. That one over there is Maurelle."

Azazel looked over to the small girl in the punch bowl as the white blonde introduced the pink haired fairy. She must have been one of those fairies Yon was talking about earlier. "It's a pleasure to meet ye too, Winters. However, I can't say I feel the same about yer.. mate." he said with a half-glare at the fairy before looking back at him and putting the now wet papers on the food table then shortly letting out a sigh of a slight annoyance.

He looked back up when a rather familiar voice came around them and began to speak to Azazel's new acquaintance. It was Ethika, Yon's master and Azazel's first friend at the academy. The undead had decided to watch the freshman interact with the white blonde before he, in return, greeted her. She had asked him if he was a witch. Adorable. he turned his head to look back at Winters to see him speak again. That... thing is his friend? Really? Oh dear. Either he had no choice in the matter or he is just as bad as she is. He thought so to himself before thiinking about himself and Zak. He was nothing like Zak yet they were always around each other. He figured Winters and Maurelle were the same way. Azazel felt himself looking for the shinigami before shortly realizing he couldn't move anymore and his search quickly came to a end as the lights went off for a short moment before another light clicked back on and centered a rather, unfortunately, familiar person in the middle of the dance room. Lucifer Caliber.

It was then people about the room began going into dances about the room and he found himself going into a tango dance with one of his best friends. Kieran Law. All the while he had an uncontrollable happy facial expression while his body felt happy to be in his arms, while his costume had changed itself and his facial make-up and hat was gone. "Kieran, let go of me ye sick git," the red head half demanded sending it as a telepathy message to his dancer. The possible worst thing about the dance was the fact he was the female lead. Then again, there'd be no way he'd be able to pick up Kieran and survive so a part of him was slightly happy he wasn't playing the male. Perhaps this dance could be way worst. He could be dancing with his not-so-secret secret-admirer and still be playing the female lead.

Luckily the song didn't last long before the lights went dark again before coming back on a second later. Everyone had control over their bodies by now. The undead was about to be spun into a twirl only to stop before the twirl started where their hands were entwined and he felt his face going back to his rather usual emotionless state. He moved quickly to take his hand away from his friend's hand, taking a step back and turning a 90 degree angle to the left and crossing his arms over his now Mad Hatter costume. "Let's agree this never happened." The red head declared before turning around to look at the food table, hoping to see his new acquaintance, his friend, or his girlfriend there. Luckily his girlfriend was there standing her very intriguing Queen of Hearts costume which fit his Mad Hatter costume too perfectly.

Glad to have seen her at such a moment, he hurriedly made his way over to her sneaking up behind her, "Hey there, good looking." He said as he wrapped his arms around Nichole's waist and rested his chin on her shoulder as he smiled and let out a small giggle. He wasn't happy about dancing with Kieran but he wasn't going to allow his night be ruined because he had to dance with Kieran. It could have been worst.

He released from the hug and stood beside her facing the food table, "Where's Eva?" He asked the fox-human hybrid while looking around for a white bunny and a brunette in blue and white who familiarized as Alice from Alice in Wonderland. "There's Cas," he mentioned with a smile while pointing toward him before noticing the headmistress talking to him. He felt Cas was nervous about something and quickly second guessed him staying around Nichole longer. His smile quickly faded, "Sorry to leave in such a jiffy but I need to cheque on him. He doesn't seem okay." He assured her as he made his way past her before turning around quickly to sneak a quick peck on her cheek before taking off again toward Caspian.
