Do you Have Your Valentine?

[Cupid]

(Note: Valantine's Day Dance Party thread - will end this Sunday or earlier depending if the votes are done. Winner for best couple gets a wish granted from Cupid himself!

Also, the punch Cupid created, in case no one wants to read my intro - has a "truth spell" on it that lasts the whole night)


Cupid had managed to make the Dining Hall into something else entirely. given the never ending ability of magic, it wasn't hard to make the Dining Hall into a literal Ball Room. He pondered on making it a mascaraed themed Valentine Dance, but he doubted students had any fancy masks lying around in their rooms. He fixed the side tables, checking on the food and drinks. He tapped his wand over the punch bowel. The magic inside it made it so whoever drinks from it must tell the truth the whole night. Cupid smirked. There would be secrets told tonight and true love would shine through.

The fairy of love looked through his CDs for appropriate love songs - some slow, some fast. It was almost an hour until the party would start. He expected some early birds and so dimmed the lights appropriately and played instrumental music until the real party would begin. Cupid expected Wandisimo soon, since he was supposed to let the students and faculty in. He also better have gotten Cupid something for this special Holiday. He hadn't seen the Latino fairy all day at it was already evening. "Whatever it is it soooo better be worth it," he muttered, fixing his new glamorous pink and white suit.

[Grell Sutcliff]

For once in his life, Grell was not fashionably late. Being a teacher, he thought it best to appear earlier than usual. Plus, he didn't have the awkward problem of wearing an elaborate dress this Valentine's Day. A spotless red suit(of course) covered his slender form, a single black rose pinned to his lapel. He didn't think that Medusa would appreciate her date also wearing a dress. That is, if Medusa were to show up, which Grell didn't know if she would or not. Valentine's Day didn't exactly seem like her thing.
It was, however, Grell's thing, and his top favorite holiday. All the glorious red and displays of affection were enough to make the shinigami squeal with delight.
Taking a deep breath, he stepped into the dimly lit dining hall, glancing around in satisfaction at the beautiful decorations. Catching sight of the new teacher to the school, Grell smirked. Cupid. How positively droll.

[Jericho]

Jericho adjusted his dark green bowtie for the last time in the bathroom mirror. He was glad he had packed for any occasion, for it had ensured that he had fancy enough clothing for a formal dance. He brushed his black tuxedo smooth again, trying to wipe out the wrinkles that remained from it being packed in his suitcase, but the case seemed futile. Instead, the blond tucked his tiny notepad and pen in the pocket of his jacket. As he pushed open the door to the dining hall, the fleeting thought of Raven in a black dress danced across his mind, but he shook it out. Dances were certainly not the dark Titan's favorite cup of tea and he severely doubted she would join the festivities. But there were other women here besides her (even if she would always be the one who haunted him) and it was for them that Joseph was wearing a purple rose on his lapel.

[Maka]

Raven walked into the dance with a weary sigh. She hated dances, hated them more than well, saying she hated them more than Beast Boy would be going to far. The fact she was wearing a tight black dress with a slit up to the high part of the thigh wasn't exactly helping the moody teen. Glancing around the room with very little interest Raven found herself bored and wishing she had a book. She could never understand why she actually desided to come to this...festivity. It wasn't her at all, maybe it was just the fact that she was trying out high school.

[Dr. Facilier]

Dr. Facilier walked in with his regular clothing, for he felt no need to change his look. Facilier secretly hoped that lotti would be here, if she was this would be a good opportunity to woo her again. Facilier looked around to see if she was around and waited for her to come.

[Lotti]

Lotti, missing something involved with love? One would be crazy if they thought that. She had worn a pink dress with her hair up in a bun. A bit of a classic princess look, sure, and that's what Lotti wanted everyone to think of her as. A princess. Tiana had been a princess, but Lotti? Not so much. She didn't get to marry a prince, or be daughter of a king and queen or anything. She'd just dream on. Her blue eyes fluttered across the room, spotting Facilier almost instantly. "Oh, Facilier!" she said, excitement in her voice as she nearly ran up to him.

[Dr. Facilier]

Facilier finally saw lotti, and his mouth dropped a little as he saw her in a gorgious pink dress. He walked up smoothly to her running and said "I think someone should call heaven 'cause I think an angel just gone missing" He took her hand and said "Amazing as always darlin'"

[Lotti]

"Why, thank you very much dear." Lotti said with a blush. "You don't look bad yourself." Love. Maybe Lotti was experiencing it at this moment. "Oh, don't you just enjoy Valentine's Day, Facilier? The love, the hearts, the pink... it's even better with someone with you."

[Dr. Facilier]

Facilier grinned "The hearts and love are what I aim for" He looked around at all the decoration then back at lotti "And about valentine's day being better with someone, it's especially good to be loving by nature instead of force for once." He gave her a look of sincererity

[Lotti]

"Quite true, darlin'." Lotti said. She oculdn't agree more with love. To not be forced to love someone was best. "Love by nature, I love that sayin' Facilier." Facilier. What a peculiar name. Lotti hadn't thought much of it until this moment of course, and she wasn't going to barge in why his name was that.

[Jericho]

Having served himself a glass of punch, the titan's attention was drawn by the woman in pink rushing across the dance floor. The flirty chatter between her and a dark-dressed man who was obviously another teacher made him smile slightly in an expression of faint amusement. But when Raven stepped from behind them, dressed in a tight black dress, his green eyes widened to nearly the size of saucers and it took rather a bit of willpower to keep himself from dropping his cup.

To say that Raven was special to him was a statement of fact. Back when he was working with them in New York, she was one of the few people who could actually tell what he was saying due to her empathetic talents. This alone made him grateful to her. She was not his first crush, but she was special. Different. And even his normally confident demeanor bowed submissively to her slightest look.

Proud that he was able to keep himself from running over, he approached her with a barely suppressed contaigious grin, hands dancing as he signed,
Raven! I haven't seen you in quite a while.

[Maka]

Raven was startled slightly at Jerico coming up to her, "Oh. Hello Jerico. Yeah it has been awhile hasn't it."

She brought her hands up to rest lightly on her upper arms. Raven cocked her head slightly to the side, her short purple hair falling into her face as she attempted to keep her cold exterior. Jerico seemed to have this control over her that seemed to make her want to smile. She stared at him with the same droll expression as she did everything else. Picking up slightly on the fact that her heart was beating slightly faster than normal.

"How have you been?" she asked.

[Puck]

Ugh, Valentine's Day. Not one of Puck's favorite holidays. Everyone running around, throwing candied hearts at each other and cheaply printed cards didn't exactly appeal to the trickster. However, this year, he hadn't been forced into his room due to the awkwardness of not having a date, so he had decided to get off his lazy backside and go down to the dining hall. That, and a certain Valentine-loving shinigami had somewhat coerced him into coming.
Donning a black dress shirt with a red button-up vest and bowtie, Puck stepped casually into the room, glancing about the room for sight of a familiar face. Unfortunately, the only one belonged to none other than Grell Sutcliff, which was a familiar face that Puck did not want to see at the moment. Slipping along the back wall out of the teacher's sight, Puck decided to wait there until Clopin showed up. Well, that is, if he decided to come. Puck had a feeling he might, but since he hadn't said much about it to the gypsy, he was not sure.

[Jericho]

Beyond my mother dragging over every continent and back, then lecturing me on why I should go back to school, I've been doing alright. He signed, giving a weary grin. Although his mother's detective organization, Searchers Inc., was a good use of his abilities, the Titans had provided a far more morally worth use of his unique talents. It was there he would return once his schooling was finished, and hopefully it was there he would stay.
Shall I get you a drink? Joseph asked, his usual gentleman's demeanor reasseting itself.

[Raven]

"Sure I don't see why not," Raven said with a slight shrug. She levitated off the ground slightly and floated past Jerico. Slightly joyful to have another Titan at the school. She did miss Starfire slightly.
