Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kasumi was busy gathering her things before bed, with a quick trip to the Lost and Found bin for any extra essentials she could pull up. With a couple of extra socks in hand for nostalgia (like she really needed them anyway) and was walking back from classes when she heard strange noises. Tilting her head, the ghost watched as two black beings darted across the hallway and into a closed room. Mice? Rats? Gnomes? Odd... very odd. What are they doing over here? Her thoughts hearkened back to the doom the student brought upon the mice infesting the walls before, and thought that maybe she could construct something again? Better to investigate and report the incident to the proper authorities, and then construct the instrument of destruction! Placing the socks on a nearby rotting bench, Kasumi poked her head through the middle of the wall.

There, she saw someone that looked familiar. Wasn't she a werewolf? That redhead from the Student Council welcoming party, yes. Now, what was her name again? The ghost was silent as she thought for a moment, the rest of her body sticking straight out of the wall and into the hallway. Passers by would not think anything of it. Ghosts were known to do that! Kasumi stood there, silent in thought until the name came to her. Letters! She remembered the letters! And those two black darting creatures were apparently the pets who may or may not have noticed the ghost's head through the wall.

"LW! What are you up to in here?" came an honest question from about five feet off the ground.

"Oh, you've lost your pets? Do you need help? I'll help look for them too! It must be terrible to lose them, especially if you're so close to them. Here, we might be able to find them if we look together!"

In her rambling and infectious need to assist, Kasumi phased through the wall entirely and started to crawl along the ground. She soon spotted that two of them were already attached to their owner, and she breathed a sigh of ghostly relief. Standing up again, she brushed herself off out of nostalgia and bowed to the werewolf. "It's a pleasure to see you again, though I would suggest using a leash instead next time. Sometimes rambunctious pets can get loose quite easily and cause problems. I might know a few students who have leashes if you'd like me to inquire?"

She didn't see the liquid above them at all, but did notice the spiderwebs. Those were fairly commonplace decorations made by the Skitters that crawled on the walls during school hours, repairing banners and the like. Whenever Kasumi went to her locker, one or two of them would be nearby. She rather liked them. "I hope your stay at the Academy has been pleasant thus far. You know you can always ask me for help, or one of the other Student Council representatives. It's what we're here for! Also, sorry about the punch... I personally had no idea."

As the ghost continued to ramble, the liquid probably sagged in its container, just waiting to spill. And still, Kasumi continued to yammer on and on about the activities at school and all the fun classes a werewolf could participate in.

Poor Kasumi continued to ramble when the werewolf offered up even simple replies. She was just so excited to assist someone as a Student Council representative and still, she didn't see the hanging sac of liquid above them as she continued her explanation. "Certainly, not all small pets can be controlled via a leash, but I would hate for you to lose them. There is a Lost and Found Bin if such a thing occurs, however. It's in front of Miss Headmistress' office. Anyway," She waved a hand while Austin the Hazmutt was scratching himself. She didn't notice Little-Wolfe backing up nervously. "There are lots of sports to partake in - there's a track team, a flying team, Fearleaders, casketball... a great deal of physical activity! Clubs are mandatory here, but there is a wide assortment to choose from..."

Just as she was about to finish, the red waterfall poured over them and cut her off mid-sentence. Since the werewolf was already red, there wasn't much perceivable difference to Kasumi. She stood there, dripping and sticky, until she phased in and out, dropping the liquid to the floor. Curious, she bent over to look at it. "Hmm. Looks like we've sprung a leak somewhere. We should inform the cleaning gnomes about it. Perhaps put in a work notice with the secretary?"

She reached out to the werewolf girl, frowning. There wasn't much she could do to assist and could only phase herself. Ah, but there is a bathroom! "Do you think this will come off with soap and water? The bathroom is just down the hall. We should get you cleaned up as soon as possible."

Kasumi had no idea it was a prank, obviously.

Ah, the minipets were protesting. Kasumi pondered why the school would need to pump sticky red liquid through pipes (or something of the sort) in the ceiling, but she decided it was beyond her and let it drop. The chittering continued as Kasumi pondered a solution to their sticky problem. Snapping her fingers, she offered another possibility. "What if we could get you dried off? Would it then chip or something? We could possibly find a fan or... OH! Miss Secretary is an ice creature... maybe we could freeze it off? Yes, that might work!"

She wandered to the door and opened it, gesturing for the werewolf to follow. "We can go ask, if you like! Miss Secretary might be knitting, but she's quite agreeable and I'm sure she would be happy to assist." The fact that Arel was actually male obviously missed Kasumi by a mile, but they'd only met once, and very briefly. Still, regardless of whether or not Arel could help, the work order would have to be put in. She watched the halls to see if any other gnomes would come by so she could ask them.

"I suppose I could notify the office while you get cleaned up. It could be a duty of Student Council that I wasn't made aware of... She continued to ramble as she walked down the hall.

Kasumi stopped mid-sentence and turned around to face the other ghoul, folding her hands over her stomach in thought. Since the pipe didn't seem to be leaking any further, the ghost could put off alerting the staff of the problem until they got the werewolf and her companions cleaned up! Kasumi nodded furiously and pointed in the direction of the bathrooms, leading LW along. "Oh yes, you're very right. Come, the bathrooms are this way. I'm sure the water gets decently hot but... it's not like I need such things. I can't make any guarantees." That was another thing she'd have to keep track of, but being secretary, it was her job!

As the pair rounded the corner, Kasumi phased through the wall of the bathroom and frowned at the pair of ghouls standing around and prettying themselves in one of the mirrors. They were taking up all four of the sinks with their various makeups and things. Padding up to the two ghouls (both looked to be reapers, but Kasumi wasn't entirely sure), she politely asked them to stop clogging up four Jacking sinks. "Ladies, we have an emergency. We'll need two of these sinks. If you would please--"

One huffed at the secretary and scooped up her things, glaring at the ghost. Kasumi smiled her best and beckoned the werewolf in. "All's clear, Miss. Let's get you cleaned up."

Kasumi leaned over to watch the hazmutt on the floor. It was incredible how intelligent (or completely unintelligent as the case may be) minipets could be. She reached out to pat the pup on the head as LW was busy washing the ones who were currently yowling their heads off. "One would think they would be a bit more grateful to you for washing this stuff off of them!" exclaimed the ghost, who was giggling as Callix flailed about in his mistress' arms. "They should at least be thanking you, I would think. In their own way."

Being a ghost definitely had its perks despite Kasumi's dislike of it in the beginning. She could phase through walls, not have to worry about sweat or showering, only deal with eating if she wanted to... Really, being a ghost wasn't so bad at all. It was learning how to control one's intangibility that was the most difficult part. "You take such good care of them too... perhaps they could meet Horobi sometime?" Horobi was Kasumi's little wisp pet, one of the first she'd ever met while on campus. She scratched behind Austin's ear.

"You're a very handsome boy. Did you know that?" she asked him, smiling.
