[prp] do you want to build a party? (Carlos/Camilla)

[phantompanther13]

Carlos hear talk of something. He nosed into some conversation or another and bothered the other students. A Party? They called the party pom, did that mean they needed pom poms? Or just as many Poms as one could eat?

Either way Carlos was excited. He sprung about in a semi uncharacteristic way for himself. Where had all this energy come from? A good question.

First he needed Poms. He ran off to the woods to scout out as many as he could get.

It was a fine October day and Camilla decided she would take a bit of a break from studying and classes today! The Dormouse ghoul had gone out to the woods behind the Monster dorms and was seated on a fallen log bathed in warm Pumpkin Sun simply relaxing... Her gently swaying tail occasionally would tap her lunch bag to make sure it was still there while Camilla mused on things...

A frown rests lightly on her face as one of the major things she kept thinking about was the Knight Dream... It seemed more and more that everybody she'd seen in the dream had, the Knight Dream also... But not everybody seemed to remember it... She wondered... The Knight who's memories Camilla saw had a deep friendship with the Knight Shayne saw... It was nice... Having such a deep reliable friendship... She was forming these friendships herself of course! She just wondered... She'd not seen hide nor hair of Shayne sense the Knight Dream, and she wondered if he remembered... It wasn't their memories, but she didn't see why she couldn't have such a deep friendship with the undead boil...

A deep thoughtful expression painted the Dormouse ghoul's face as she thought on this... She was leaning forwards with a hand on her chin while her feet planted infront of her as her tail sways musingly, A ear occationally would flick at a random sound but she wasn't really paying much mind to her surroundings. Finally, another thought starts to push in and Camilla decides that the Knight Dream and Shayne's involvement was a thought for another time. The thought that was now taking up the majority of her mind was... Prom!

Of course she knew about the upcoming Prom! She'd have to be living under a rock not too what with all the posters, announcements, and even occational tweets for it! She had missed out on Prom last year and she really wanted to go this year! Question now was... Who would she bring? It seemed that having a 'date' was customary for Prom like it was for Dances and Balls... Camilla had no interest in romance at all so it really came down to which friend she'd bring! Naturally, her first choice was her oldest friend here at Amityville, Carlos! But... She wanted to run through her mental list of friends first...

There was Shayne... But she wasn't sure she was ready to face him quite yet... Then there was AJ who had been her date for the dance! But only because she bid on him... He might already have a date... Ok so then there was Uru... Ok not Uru... then Mellow... No... not Mellow... She'd only talked with Zarach once and Rojo probably was too busy with the Prom itself! Hm... she wasn't sure that Yuki fellow from the Knight Dream was even a creature of Halloween... And Shun was certainly out of the question! She hadn't seen Brand for a long while either... Which now that she thought about it was concerning... she had briefly encountered that Fire Demon... When she was playing a prank on him... Eh... no... There was also various other male students she'd had brief encounters with but she didn't know them well enough to even think of asking... That just left her first choice, Carlos! She could fill out and enter that match maker form... But going with a friend would be a lot more fun!

Smiling a decisive expression washes over Camilla's face as she nods to herself! "Yes! I will ask Carlos to Prom! The question now is... Where can I find the Cheshire Cat boil...?" she says excitedly at first only to frown...

Lets hope this post doesn't derp out!

Finding Camillia was a little harder today. He sniffed and tracked down her scent. He knew it well, with that tea and vanilla. And mouse. But Carlos was getting over the need to bite her. Camillia was friend. Very good friend.

Today Carlos had pom poms. And poms. And well, he was very decorated today. Carlos hunted down his prey not being as sneaky as usual. his tail was up in the air as he bound over to her catching her and cornering her in a hall. "Camillia! They are having a party! A pom pom party!" he carried a pom in his paws and Pom poms in his illusion paws and his eyes grinned at her and his ears were perked and ready to go.

(I can't tell if this is Drabble style or not! lol I think we're supposed to title our posts in Drabble)

The next day Camilla was wandering around the school looking for a certain Cheshire Cat boil. He was surprisingly hard to find today which had her frowning a bit... She had already check his dorm, part of the scarefari, and even the Creeptaria! Though... she wasn't sure why anybody with taste buds would go there... She'd searched everywhere he might be, and still she couldn't find her friend!

Finally, she moves to a out of the way corner of hall to think a bit... Her tail sways musingly as a thoughtful expression washes over her face. Where would he be? He could be hunting in the woods... But if he was, it'd take forever to find him! He might be at his dorm now for all she knew... They might have just been missing each other! Hm... Sincw anywhere else the Cheshire Cat boil might be would take a lot of searching Camilla finally decides to just camp out at his dorm! He had to go back there eventually right?

With a decisive nod, Camilla gives a happy tail wag to her plan, before turning around to continue down the hall cheerfully! Unfortunately the Dormouse ghoul hadn't been paying any more attention to her surroundings then the Cheshire Cat boil had been his stealth... Because of this, Camilla took about one step from the corner only to get a brief warning of his coming, in the form of a flash of blue out of the corner of her eye!

"Eep!" she squeaks in surprise as she suddenly finds herself pinned into the corner, with a excited Carlos staring gleefully at her! He was decorated in pom poms while holding pom poms... The ones in his paws looked suspiciously like Minipet poms too... wait did he say a pom party? "Huh...?" she says softly, blinking in confusion... The adrenaline that still coursed through her from being pounced wasn't helping her proccess what he meant very well... Finally, she takes a breath to clear her head before thinking on what he actually meant. A Pom party... Pom... Pom... Prom... Oh! He must have misheard things! Smiling at him she giggles cheerfully a bit "Oh dear Carlos... I don't think you mean Pom but Prom! It is a party but more like a dance! It unfortunately doesn't involve Pom poms or Poms" she explains before her smile broadens

"I was looking for you though! It's customary to bring a date to Prom and I wanted to ask you if you'd like to go to Prom with me!" she explains before asking cheerfully while twirling her tail happily!

phantompanther13

Oh! Btw! Camilla's hair, fur, and skin have all gotten lighter colored! This might be the first time he really gets to have a good look at the difference!

 

[phantompanther13]

Carlos smelled excitement. Or was that Fear? Fear, Fear was good right? Carlos was supposed to be scary sometimes right? But Camilla was friend surely she was only excited. She laughed after a moment yes she was only excited. They were friends.

Wait... no Poms. "Awe no poms?"

A date? Like a date date? Carlos was confused. Dancing cats swam through his head. Dates were like candle like dinner right? He liked dinner. He clearly couldn't have mouse but that was ok, he could go with canary. And then there was dancing. Carlos was generally too lazy to dance but he could stand around and look good right? And then do a move or two. Either way it would be with his friend and would be fun.

"No Poms is ok. Carlos will go. A romantic dinner would be a delight with a delightful friend."

honestly now that he looked at her Did she looked a little different? perhaps she did something with her fur. It didn't matter too much Carlos was more interested in her scent than her fur. And her scent told him she was happy. Oh look her tail was moving. his eyes went to her tail an his own twitched, getting to pounce for real this time, just like he would a sibling.

Rikku Takanashi

eh drabbles are for squares anyways. we can just time skip around. feel free to just jump our time to picking our cloths in a shop.

 

[Rikku Takanashi]

Truthfully Camilla hadn't been scared, she was simply startled by his pouncing. However it still sent a flush of adrenaline through her due to the fact that many of her pouncers weren't so friendly... Most wished to either eat her or maim her at the very least... Fortunately that was not the case here and her startlement turned to excitement upon seeing the friend she'd been looking for!

She frowns slightly that he seemed a bit down at the lack of poms that would be attending the party. However, she smiles and gives another happy tailwag as he seems to cheer up! His mention of a romantic dinner had the Dormouse ghoul blinking for a moment, until it occures to her that he might think all dates were romantic... "Heh Carlos... Dates don't have to be romantic! There's playdates where you have friends come over on planned days, and by date they can mean partner or escort! Your just supposed to bring someone with you! It can be a date date, or it can be a friend, a sibling, even a parent!" she explains cheerfully. At the mention of parents and dances Camilla remembers dancing with her dad as a little scareling during some of the balls her family hosted! It was a fond memory... and soon her tail was swaying even more merrily then before!

A brief faraway look had come over her but she soon snaps back to reality as she remembers the dinner part! "Oh! While the dinner might not be romantic I can treat you to dinner after the dance if you like! Heh" she offers cheerfully! If the Prom didn't have any food then dinner afterwards would be a must anyway! Now! They had decided! They were both going to Prom together! But... What would they wear... "Hm... The theme of the Prom is Dark Fairy-tale... Our outfits should reflect that... But which fairy-tale should we choose..." she asks musingly as her tail slows down to a thoughtful sway and a hand goes to her chin...

"Theres... Well, We are Wonderland, you and I... But maybe we should do something different... Hm... Theres... Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, The little Mermaid... Though that one might be tricky... Theres The Black Thief and the Knight of Glen... Rupunzel... Beauty and the Beast..." she says musingly before trailing off. Because of her musing the Dormouse ghoul failed to notice her tail was attracting a certain cat boil's attention... She wouldn't realize this until she felt hands close around her tail as he pounces it! "Hm- eep!" she squeaks as she was jerked from her musing! "Heh..." she laughs a bit before dangling her tail near him, she hoped for no claws... Still... This gave her a idea...

"We could do Beauty and the Beast! I could be the beauty and you the beast!" she suggests cheerfully!

phantompanther13

Ohohoho! Camilla almost never buys her things off the rack! No no no! They will be stopping off at a dress shop! XD

 

[phantompanther13]

"A dark fairy tale must have tails." his ears wiggled. His eyes followed interesting moving thing. Must catch must catch. Instincts were roaring. "A coat with tails." he nodded a bit.

Dinner sounded good. After prom was fine with him, he was a ghost who didn't actually half to eat. Though Camilla didn't seem as interested in the romantic portion of things. Ok! They would have friend date instead. Friend date was good date.

He listened as she listed off different outfits. There! There it was, time to strike. He gently pawed at her tail, claws sheathed. Just catch not hurt, just catch. And then he set about purring.

"Beauty and the beast? Carlos will be beast." he let out a mew that was supposed to be a roar. "Carlos will claim Beautiful Camilla and carry her off." Carlos decided at this moment that he would pick her up, using his paws and his illusions and sweeping her off her feet and into his arms. "Rawr!" he held her close and Camilla could feel purring in his chest still. She was friend, he didn't mean to hurt, just play. His feet touched the ground due to her full sized weight and he was a bit unsteady but his natural ghostliness kept him from falling.

"But a proper suit is needed for a proper beast."

Rikku Takanashi

Oh well he doesn't know that. XD sorry he is a dork. He is just picking her up and carrying her around now.

 

[Rikku Takanashi]

(Oh this is so Kawaii!)

She nods a bit at his statement about tales, though she had a feeling he was mixing tales with tails! Oh wait, no he wasn't heh! She was glad he kept his claws in because she knew full well what shreaded tail felt like... It wasn't pleasant... Because he was being good and gentle with her tail she dangled it a bit more infront of him. His purring was nice added bonus!

She couldn't help but giggle a bit at his mew roar before nodding "Then Beauty and the Beast it is!" she exclaims with a happy tailwag! However, she frowns modestly a bit at being called beautiful while gently scratching her cheek... "Heh... I wouldn't say beautiful..." she says modestly. She honestly never really considered herself beautiful, and it was one of the kinds of compliments she often down played. However, before she could down play the compliment further she found herself swept off her feet into Carlos's arms! "Oh! Heh heh! Carlos!" she exclaims in surprise before laughing cheerfully and wrapping her arms around his neck for extra support! While Camilla couldn't honestly say this was a new experience for her she still found it surprising! The purring for one, was different, It was nice though!

At his statement about a proper beast needing a proper suit she nods jovially! "Yes! Heh! And a proper beauty needs a proper dress! To a dress shop!" she exclaims before pointing dramatically down the hall!

----

It seemed Carlos wouldn't be putting her down any time soon, so Camilla took that time to pull out her eyePhone and search for Beauty and the Beast themed outfits on ScarivantArt. She found a few good ones but decided she'd let the Tailor she had in mind work his magic! As they walked Camilla gave the Cheshire Cat boil directions on where to go inbetween glances at her phone. It must have looked odd to creeple... Seeing a Cheshire Cat carrying a Dormouse princess style through town... But Camilla was in too good a mood to care! Finally, they reach their destination, which was a small but fancy looking tailor with amazing outfits in the store window! "Ooo! We're here! You can put me down now Carlos! Heh" she says excitedly.

Once her feet were on solid ground again Camilla bounces her way inside! "Gupello! Are you here?" she calls out with as much excitement as her quickly swaying tail showed! "Hm? Camilla?" a voice from behind the checkout counter replies. Slowly a old reaper with gray hair and warm eyes puts down his work and gets up. He was thin and had quite a few wrinkles but the most friendly smile as he looks upon the pare. "Ah! It is you Camilla! What can I do for you today? You wouldn't happen to need a outfit for Prom would you?" he asks warmly only to guess her reas on for being there in a wisened tone. "Heh heh! You always have your ear on the events Gupello! I do need a outfit for Prom! Me and my friend here!" she replies with a laugh before stepping aside to reveal the Cheshire Cat boil! "This is my friend Carlos! He's also my Prom date too! The theme this year is Dark Fairy-tale and we've decided to go with Beauty and the Beast!" she says cheerfully while first introducing the Cheshire cat boil then stating their theme.

"Nice to meet you Carlos!" the old reapers says warmly before looking him over. 'A Dormouse friends with a Cheshire Cat... Of all the creeple heh...' he thinks before turning back to the Dormouse ghoul and nodding. "That is a good theme indeed! Do you have any specifics for your outfits?" he asks and receives a nod in turn from Camilla before she pulls out her phone. "Hm... Ah! Here! I want a dress like Belle's from the Spookney Movie!" she states before showing screenshots she'd pulled up on her phone to him. "However, I don't want it to be exactly like the dress, so if you could make a few minor changes that'd be wonderful! Oh and I want it in Lavender purple! Heh!" she explains before pausing a moment then continuing. "I don't wall traditional ball gown slippers though... They hurt my feet... Could you make me some matching victorian boots with a low heel? Oh and I'd like a Rose shaped and themed clutch purse please!" she explains cheerfully! By this point Gupello had a notepad and was writing all these things down carefully "Mhm! Got it! Do you want all the usual enchantments too?" he asks and she nods quickly. "Yes please!" she chirps! Finally, he turns to Carlos. "And what would you like good sir? Anything specific?

When Carlos was finished with his outfit Gupello returns back to the checkout counter with Camilla in tow as they both calculated the total "Hm... I think that'd be... 1000 Seeds." he says calmly. To some this would have seemed outrageous but Gupello was literally one of the best tailors in town and his custom garments didn't come cheap... "Lets see... The fabric, the custom designs, the time and effort, the enchantments, Mm... Yep! That sounds right to me!" she chirps after going over the figures herself. It wasn't that she didn't (Two part post hah hah)  

[Rikku Takanashi]

trust Gupello, It's just that she was raised by her parents to double check! Just because she was rich it doesn't mean she should be wasteful!

Slowly the Dormouse ghoul pulls out her seed pouch from her pocket while her tail sways musingly and begins counting her funds. "Hm... 1000 seeds huh? Lets see... I've paid all my bills, bought all the food and supplies I need for the month, did my none essential shopping... In fact I did a bit extra this month... that should leave me with... Ah! Yes! 1500 seeds!" she says musingly before chirping happily! Cheerfully, she digs out ten gold seeds from her pouch and hands them off to Gupello with a smile. "Alrighty then! Your outfits will be ready in time for Prom! It was a pleasure doing business with you Camilla!" the old reaper says warmly before safely stowing away his new seeds in the cash register, and returning to what he was working on previously.

Now Camilla had 500 seeds burning a figurative hole in her pocket, the 1500 was cushion money her parents added to her allowance for extra things, such as spoiling friends! Which is exactly what she wanted to do with it! She happened to remember that a certain Cheshire Cat boil's dorm was rather desolate! And what better time to do something about it then now? "Hey Carlos! I have 500 seeds left! Do you want to buy some things for your room?" she asks cheerfully with a happy tail wag, which earns her a unnoticed smile from Gupello behind the counter.

phantompanther13

Sorry for the gigantic post! hah hah... Also I hope you don't mind me taking some liberties with Carlos carrying her!

I'll let you decide Carlos's exact outfit of course and you have a lot of wiggle room budget wise so go wild! (Just not too wild lol) Also it's finally time for Camilla to help decorate Carlos's dorm! lol

 

[phantompanther13]

Today Carlos was the chariot! Sort of. thankfully Camilla was light and not too hard to carry around. He followed her directions and fumbled down the hall only for a moment before figuring things out and actually walking on the ground. It felt odd to have so much weight on his paws and in such an awkward position but it would do.

---

Somewhere along the way, Camilla pulled out a toy and started playing with it. Carlos gave it a curious glance, but it didn't move, so he quickly got bored with it, not giving her phone much of a second thought. Carlos did not give what other creeple might think of them troloping through town much thought. He was having too much fun being the beast.

Upon arrival he did set the dormouse down though. His arms were getting tired anyways and it was getting less fun. Carlos was feeling lazy like it was time for a nap. he yawned and followed her inside.

Inside was a strange reaper. Carlos's fur stood on end and his tail swished. But Camilla had his attention, talking about outfits. Carlos wanted an outfit toooo. His ears perked at his name.

"Cat and mouse, mouse and cat. A chase is made, a friend is made. Not to eat but to play." Carlos explained his ears twitching as he watches Camilla make her decisions on her outfit.

"Boots and suit with two tails, a beast must let his own tail be free. A gentleman's hat with horns." he thought and looked at Camillia she had chosen lavander. "Lavander inside to match the dress, but without brown and dark. Fur at the cuffs and neck and a scarf." but color he needed color. a splash of color would do. It felt weird to think he would be wearing something without blue stripes though. Like a cat out of his skin. But it was a game, the point right? "The breast a blue to match my stripes. A Cheshire cat is nothing without his stripes. And a red handkerchief."

But when he heard the price, Carlos's eyes widened. "Seeds?" he didn't have that much in the way of seeds. Carlos ate at the cafeteria and hunted. the rest... that was all taken care of by his parents. Which meant he got not much in the way of new. (Except tea, Momma always made sure her babies had tea. Tea time was very important.)

But Camilla offered to pay for it all. It still sounded like a lot, more than Carlos had ever seen in one place passed out of her hands. "Did Camilla say a dragon?" he tried to make his question a bit more understandable. Mostly because he wanted to know the answer. Where did she get it all?

"Treasure? Treasure for my room?" his tail twitched in excitement. "A hunting we will go!" Carlos forgot all about being tired and his urge to nap in the long spools of cloth in the shop.

omg that monster tag. *dead* x.x

 

[Rikku Takanashi]

Camilla admitedly was impressed with Carlos's outfit choice, It was perfect for his beastly role!

The dormouse ghoul didn't notice the boil's curious wide eyed look of amazement as she dug out the needed seeds, She was used to this by now. His question however, brought attention to his wonderment. "Did I slay a dragon?" she parrots his question in a questioning tone of her own. What did he- Oh! Confusion paints her face, until it occures to her he must have wondered where she got all the seeds from!

She smiles and lets her tail wag merrily before explaining. "Heh... No Carlos, I did not slay a dragon! I'm from a rich family and this is part of my monthly allowance! Hah hah" she explains cheerfully before laughing a bit. Hm... even though she'd known the Cheshire Cat boil the longest, he was just now finding out she was rich... Hm... he clearly hadn't seen her dorm yet... She'd have to change that some day...

But for now, his dorm needed work! "Yes! Off we go!" she cheers in time with him before leaving the tailor shop! She loved shopping, and she loved spoiling her friends even more! "Ok! What do you need most? Furniture? I know a great place nearby!" she asks excitedly as her tail wags in equal excitement!

phantompanther13

Sorry! Hah hah... ^^;

 

[phantompanther13]

"Monthly? A treasure trove a month?" Carlos floated closer and clung to her staring down at her wallet. "Tarradiddle tis de coddidle." he started mumbling to himself in amazement. His hands pawed at her as he stared. Now claws just vibrant amazement.

"Furniture? A scratching post would be nice." His family had one of those. A big one. His siblings and he loved to climb and play on it. And there was a swing that he liked to nap in. But he didn't expect much. Just a simple post would do. Camillia was friend. Only one item was needed and they had so much tea together he wasn't even worried about bonding. Carlos himself didn't have money though. He was not rich. But Carlos was too simple to go out and get money. He ate and slept, and sometimes didn't even eat. His family provided the tea, he was a content cat with little ambition to collect more than small trinkets on occasion.

Camilla couldn't help but smile at her friend's wonderment! His awed staring and curious pawing at her pouch simply made her giggle a bit. "Heh heh! I've spent a good chunk of my allowance this month too!" she informs cheerfully while her tail wags merrily! Her ears twitch a bit at what he says, before she gives the Cheshire Cat boil a curious look. She had no idea what he said, and it made her wonder if Cheshire Cats had their own language... They probably did!

Curiosity continues to paint the Dormouse ghoul's face as he lists off only one thing... A scratching post...? Thats really all he needed...? "Is that... All?" she asks slowly in a curious tone while frowning a bit... She had 500 seeds... She could do so much more with that! "I'm sure you need other things... Like um... Do you have a table? Or chairs? And do you even have a bed? And what about tea things like cups, plates, a kettle, and something to cook with...? Do you have any of that...?" she asks curiously.

The last time she'd been in his dorm, it was pretty barren... He surely needed more then just a scratching post! His dorm had also been kinda... gloomy... Maybe he should have some wallpaper or something...

[phantompanther13]

"I have a bed." Carlos laughed. what cat wouldn't have a bed? even if he had.... taken some of it from another student. Then again he could get comfortable in the sunny spot on the ground and had often taken naps there over his bed.

"I have a few tea cups and a kettle to make things in. A cat is not a cat with out the proper amount of tea." he grinned at her. And then mentally went searching though his mind as he thought about his room. "Table? Chairs? A cafeteria I use when I want to eat. A Cheshire cat does not need food. Only the bear necessities is what Carlos has." he paused and thought about the treasure the dragon gave him. "Well, that and a few small treasures." honestly over all Carlos had not gotten much more than what she had already seen of his room. just a few trinkets and some extra bedding. It was cleaner though, less dusty.

[Rikku Takanashi]

Camilla was pleased to know he had a bed now. She nods musingly a bit as he listed off what he had. "Hm... Would you like a new kettle and maybe more cups? And how do you make your tea? Is your kettle electric?" she asks curiously.

At the mention of not needing food she frowns a bit. She knew undead and ghosts didn't need to eat, but she only minorly understood the idea of never being hungry... Still it made her wonder. "Do you only have tea? You don't have any desserts or sandwiches with your tea? And how do you drink it? On the floor? Wouldn't a table and chair be even more proper?" she asks as her tail sways musingly.

The simple life of a Cheshire Cat was simply defeating the Dormouse ghoul's understanding currently.

phantompanther13

Camilla understands simple living but not that simple! lol
