2d stood nervously next to Mikako, his shopping trip had gone not as well as he had hoped. He wore black jeans and a blue short sleeve button down shirt, nearly the same shade as his hair.
He leaned from one foot to the other, frustration and anger pounded through his veins, behind his dark eyes he was waiting, like a creature poised to strike. the moment he saw Lulu...
He turned to Mikako then with a missing-toothed grin, she looked lovely.
"Ay 'ope we 'ave a gewd tim'... ay'v nev'a don' dis b'for... heh-heh"
He didn't want her to know what he planned to do, he really didn't want to ruin her night, but somethings where most important.
Defending the honor of a woman, and backing up his own threats. It was a matter of pride.

Murdoc lurked alongside the hotel, leaning against the wall, smoking a wrinkled Lucky Star . "Cheap, but better than nothing..."

He was dressed in all his finery , as well as a shirt he "borrowed" from 2D. Tonight, was a night for skullduggery, ledgerdemain, and boozed up chicks. His RV was parked behind the 8-13 store up the street, with a little friend inside he brought over from Britan, a big bottle of BeefEater that his dad forgot about one drunken wednesday.

He had his (2D's) tickets in his back pocket. Hopefully, some bird that didn't have any way in might cough up for some weed...

[theydothebump]

Behind Mikako's head he saw Murdoc step out of the shadows.
"'ey Mudsie!" He called out with out reserve, his anger temporarily displace the that butterfly feeling in his chest. "Ay din't kno' yew w'er com'n!" He grinned wide at this friend, his cheeking pinking very so slightly.

"'ey, is'nt dat' mah shu'rt?"

[spawnofstoke]

"Yeah, sure is. Didn't think anything of it, considering I bought it." Murdoc bowed slightly to Mikako, sweeping with his arm. "A beautiful evening! Crisp and dark, like a good wine! Speaking of which..." He produced a flask from an inside pocket sewn into his cape. He twisted the cap sharply, and tipped about two shots worth down his unshaven gullet.

"AAhhhh, how bout you, cupcake?" He tilted the flask towards 2D suggestively.

Mai looked over at Sena, he was so much shorter than her, fact the thought that his face was about eye level with her breasts had crossed her mind many time. She prided herself on her looks tonight, as if to say, 'the past is behind me'. Her revealing, long red dress had been delivered this morning, a gift from a designer friend in Paris. She had over dressed on purpose, and the her dress and smi9le glittered with pride. Her whole air told those around her 'I am above you'. She held to Sena's arm loosely, smiling at him.
"Thank yous o much for being my date tonight, I would have hated to go alone. I'm so lucky to get to go with a football player! I hope you'll win tomorrow, so I'll try not to keep you up... to late." The look in her eyes and the tone of her voice, all practiced, she sounded demure, flirtatious and inviting.

Sena never turned so red in his life until now when he met with Mai and saw her dress. His cheeks tinted a huge hue of red and he laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his head when she thanked him for letting her take him as a date.
Lucky? HE felt like the lucky one.

"Ah.i-it was no-o prob-problem! " He gave a smile, though it turned curious when she mentioned not keeping him up too late..What did that mean?

[fanninja]

The was he blushed made her smiled deviously behind her hand. He was so innocent, it intruded her. Not but a year about that had been her.
"I'm glad I'm not a problem." Laughing melodically, she turned her professional charm on thick as they entered the ball room.
"Isen't it lovely Sena-Kun?" Beaming down at him, her eyes alight with practiced wonder. "This is your first homecoming right? You're a Freshmen, I thought. Wow, here I am a Senior, but i do have to say, " She leaned closer to his ear. "But you are the cutest boy here, so i don't feel so bad." It had only been a half-truth, he was quite cute, adorable even. a blaring, welcomed, change from her normal string of older men.

[shortshrimp21]

Sena yelped a little, staring wide eyed at the older girl. H-Her assests..and..compliments really made him feel even more shy.

"hhhuuu..I..I don't kno-know a-about-t-t th-that Mis-ss Ma-Mai..." He stuttered cutely, glancing away in timidness.

When Detective Gumshoe arrived, things were getting underway. As per Alucard's request, he was dressed a bit more formal than usual. His telltale coat was gone, replaced by a dark, pressed blazer. His whole outfit was crisp and clean, even his tie was straight. The only thing he forgot to do was shave.

The campus cop made his way to the refreshment table, making damn sure it didn't get spiked. Of course, after hearing the DJ's first set, he could really go for a drink. He stood there and waited for his "date" to show up.

[notridinwitbean]

Seeing Mr. Gumshoe walk up Rally turned to look at him, her face beet red in embarrassment.
please don't let him say anything about the Saree...
"You look nice tonight Mr. Gumshoe! Its a welcome changed of pace." She laughed a little and fidgeted, pulling at her stubborn curls, bangles making gleeful clinking noises. "Helping to guard the punch? Mr. Atredies has taken it upon himself to do that same thing. He's quite set on it actually." again she laughed nervously, feeling as if this was the most embarrassing moment in her life.

[det_gumshoe]

Gumshoe turned to the voice and blinked. Ah, it was only Rally. He smiled and chuckled uncomfortably. "Thanks, pal. I'm not used to cleaning up unless it's super important. And you know... heh... this is important." He didn't notice her outfit, other than it looked very nice on her. The cop was quick to banish those thoughts.

[notridinwitbean]

Pal? his informal nature took her by surprise. She blinked alittle and then smiled prettily, her cheeks still beaming pink. well at least he's not making this whole thing any worse.
"Yes it's very important to them." Her eyes moved from him to the students and she sighed. " There therefor- it should be important to us!"
She reached out for a cup and filled a cup with the carefully guarded punch.
"Punch, Mr Gumshoe? I assure it it was kept safe under my watch!" with a delicate finger she pushed a little hair from her face.
It was funny, how one dress could make her feel not only embarrassed, but delicate, and feminine, and it showed in her motions and mannerisms. A grace taught so long ago she was sure she had forgotten, but lessons engraved on the mind of a child are hard to forget.
"Did you come alone tonight? No lovely Mrs. Gumshoe?"

Zack walked into the ballroom, sharply dressed in a three-piece suit and tie. His cousin Elliot was sneakier than he had thought - for the past couple months, instead of taking the money Zack was prone to leaving on the kitchen counter and using it toward rent, Elliot had been putting it away to buy Zack a suit for the homecoming dance.

It didn't look like the rest of the team was there yet, so Zack wandered his way through the sparse amount of people that had arrived so far and found a table to sit at. Dancing was no fun unless you had someone to dance with, after all.

She wasn't sure why she came to the homecoming dance. Lavi had said he was coming so it surprised her. But there was no sign of the red-haired man. Tohru akwardly stood by a table, looking around nervously as she fumbled with her gloved hands.

Tohru decided to dress up in a style that was reminded of the 20-30's period. The dress was a bit abover her knee in a dark green with matching wrist-length gloves and black hat. It was modest enough for her and made her turqoise eyes shimmer more under the lighting. Her hair, now at her shoulders, was curled and framed her face. She adjusted her hat, now staring at the floor. Tohru knew she should have just stayed home.

[1stclassfair]

Zack looked up and spotted a girl standing near his table. He didn't know her personally - he'd seen her around, hadn't introduced himself - but she looked out of place and uncomfortable. Zack knew how that felt.

"Hi!" he said cheerfully, throwing her an easy, hopefully comforting smile. "Why don't you sit down? Then we'd both have someone to talk to."

[onigiri_in_a_fb]

Tohru jumped when she heard the voice, turning around to look at the young man. Were they in a class together? He looked really familiar. She pointed to herself, blinking dumbly before giving a shy smile and going to sit next to him.

"Hehe, y-yes quite.I suppose you didn't come with anyone either?" she asked.

Misuzu shyly held Ryuichi's hand as she entered the dance with him along side with her. She wore a light pink sundress with tiny pink dino-charm around her neck. It was very cute on her and she felt happy May helped her out. She looked up at Ryuichi happily, a smile on her face and tiny blush on her cheeks.

"Thank you very much Ryu-kun! I-..Ive never done all this before." She replied.

[shinycrayons]

"I've never been to a school dance before either." He told her quietly. It was kind of silly to think about, actually. Sakuma Ryuichi, popular singer and idol, had never actually been to a school dance. Actually, Ryuichi wasn't entirely sure that he could dance. This wasn't like dancing at a concert, after all. Still, he was there with Misuzu and they would see May and Duey. Even if he found out that he was a handsome rockstar, and a completely horrible dancer the evening was guaranteed to be fun.

It had actually taken Ryuichi a while to get ready for the dance. While he wasn't one to normally be concerned about such things if it didn't involve his professional life, Ryuichi figured he should try to look nice. What was a dance, if one didn't play along and dress up for no real reason. Still, he wasn't about to be uncomfortable all evening so, under his pinstriped suit, Ryuichi wore a stylishly dyed T-shirt. He was expected to wear the entire ensemble plus some utterly ridiculous looking accessories for a photo shoot when

[peach_dinosaur]

At his soft reply, Misuzu gave him a tiny smile and squeezed his hand as they watched the dance floor for awhile. She sneeked a peek up at Ryuichi again. He never dressed this way much so it certainly surprised her..he looked really nice.

The request took her by surprise and she blushed bright red. Misuzu never really danced with someone before like what the others already on the dance floor were doing.
"G...ga..Gao." she squeaked before taking his hand and nodding her head and giving a shy smile.

"O-Okay! Lets go Ryukun!" Misuzu replied.

[shinycrayons]

Ryuichi lead them to the center of the dance floor. He didn't know the music they were playing, but it was okay enough, in an average poppy kinda way. Finding the rhythm he bounced along, being sure to maintain a respectable distance from Misuzu. Even if he was her date, Ryuichi couldn't help but be aware of the age difference.

Trying to think of an interesting dance they could do together, he remembered those videos May had showed him. Ryuichi giggled, imagining a little animated Mizu flapping her arms back and forth. "Ne, Mizu... Do you know Caramelldansen?" He asked, hoping she could hear him over the loud music. He tried to imitate it, hoping that even if she couldn't hear him, she'd get it.
