There was a spring in her step; something like a skip only with a tail adding a bit more of an actual bounce. White hair bobbed in two pigtails with each rise and fall of her movement. The startling clanging of metallic pots was heard, dangling from a novelty-sized ...backpack? Sure it might fit that description. If backpacks were blankets wrapped with rope to hold them all together in a bundle. Two parts of the roping stretched over her shoulders with thumbs tucked into them.
The ghoul couldn't have been happier. This was something completely new! It was lucky that she had remembered to bring a note on where the monster dorm was located on campus, otherwise she may have ended up in the cafeteria or something. Putting one finger on the x marking the spot on her crumpled piece of paper, Levi stopped her skip to survey her surroundings more intently. She was close?...
Spacious like a field, yet no rows of crops were visible. This was all just for the students to wander around in? Amazing! Looking around with sheer awe at these towering (to her anway) buildings, she only had one thing to say upon finally staring up at the one that would be her new home:
JiminyJack in a candy store...

Damien was glad at the progress of his room, no longer the bare little box it once was, but something that brought the hound comfort and a place to unwind in, yes a nice alternate home for the time being. A slap of paint was all that was left to do, after he was done wiring his game consoles and sound system. Nothing like playing a round of Street Flayer to some classical music as a way to relax after grueling classes and clubs.
Well there was that and the best day to release stress, running. He brushed back his hair after giving the room a look over, nodding at the new features. He even did his errands in time for another run. The hound grabbed the water bottle sitting on his table before walking out into the bustle of the main hallway, wanting to decide the route for today, maybe if he was lucky, somebody was in fitness club right now and they could go together.
It was worth a shot, he was about to take the walk over there as his eyes caught a hold of silver hair, not a color that was terribly common, hey a at least it wasn't bright florescent pink. "Hey, you all right over there?" he called out with a wave to snap the person out of its daydream.

The ghoul shook abruptly at being called out and focused in on the figure that seems to come out from the dorm before her.
Ah-! A student?
She didn't want to make any assumptions; maybe the teachers here were pretty young... Nah~ had to be a student. There where two major things about this boil that suddenly caught her attention.
Ears
Tail
Well now! Maybe he's from another tatzel town... Levi, without reasoning, relieved herself of the giant pack and trotted up to the boil with a thick tail flickering behind her. Her expression a small smile; inquisitive perhaps. She looked him straight in the eye at first but then tilted to the side slightly, looking at Damien's tail. Then back up to meet his eyes again. Well, hey there, boilio! Tell me sumthin', this here buildin' is the right place fer tatzelfolk, right?
She peered back up to Damien's ears and (invading his personal space) reached a hand up to his right ear in an attempt to graze it with a finger. Something was different about this tatzel...

Tazelwhat? Demi was starting to second guess his choice to be friendly to his fellow new student's. as the ghoul got a little to close for his comfort. He hoped she wouldn't get offended if he took a step back and put a decent amount of space between them.
He rather like elbow room and didn't feel like throwing said elbows around yet to have it. "uh.... yeah it is, in a sense, but there more here than..........whatever that word that you said." he said with a calculating look at the ghoul. At least she had her pin on, making it obvious she was a student here.
As first impressions go, she seemed a few pieces short of a full bag of candy, but that's what second and third impressions were for. "I take it you just got here?"

Blinking, the ghoul noticed him inch away a few steps. This was a shy one. Grinning, she returned her hand and placed it on her hip. He probably just needed a good roughin' up to feel more comfortable with her.
...Tatzel. Levi was somewhat confused, unsure of why the boil didn't recognize the name of their kin. He might be a bit slow, poor fella. She'd try to take it easy on him as far as questioning went, but he was going to get her proper greeting to ease him up.
Yep! Just gettin' 'ere from the farms! Pleasure ta meetcha!
Levi pounced towards the boil, closing the gap between them and wrapped her arms around his shoulders in a bear-hug. Even more surprising is what followed. The thick tail curled and coiled around his waist, constricting slightly. In as energetic of a voice as she could produce in such close proximity, the tatzelwurm ghoul introduced herself. Names Levis! Whatcha call yerself? C'mon, ye can gimme a squeeze. Ain't no ghouly ghoul. Go on now~...
Levi waited without moving, giving the greenish-tailed boil a chance to attempt to coil his tail around her in response. She had her doubts he'd be able to get it fully around her with that fluffy stumpy looking tail, but Levi wanted to at least give him a chance to try. It was only right.

Screw second and third impressions, this one was going to stick to Demi as he was suddenly grabbed and clung to for dear life. He was convinced she was going to try and eat him, the vice like grip left everything lower than his shoulders mostly immobile other than the wiggling of fingers.
So he did the only thing he could think of, Howled bloody murder and struggled to get free as his mind went blank and let it run on autopilot.
His face contorted into a snarl and glared daggers at the overly friendly ghoul. "Get yer paws 'n tail off me ya crazy ghoul!"
Tatzel must have been code for loopy as ********. it was the only explanation the hound could come up with that fit the entire bill. "Get the hell off of me, I ain't this tatzel thing your talking about, I'm a hellhound ya hear me, HELLHOUND." he barked out in irritation as he struggled to gain feeling in his limbs.
All he wanted was to be civil and polite, not end up as dinner. Demi chops with a hellhound glaze did not taste delicious and he was trying to sent that message to the ghouls mind mentally.

When she realized there was tension in his body, Levi released her arms and dropped them to her side, still leaving a much more loosened tail around the boils waist. It was something like a hand on the shoulder in comparison for her. She looked at his threatening expression and actually felt a bit relieved. He wasn't so shy after all! Boil had some bite in him to give.
Alright, alright...easy there, critter! Just sayin' mah hey there how are yas...
If he was having such issues understanding tatzels... well... what was a hellhound?! She finally released her tail and allowed it to curl idly behind her. Guess some explanations were needed now. Maybe this would explain why his tail and ears were so differing to the rest of her kin. She straightened her tail and allowed herself to rest on it to the point of her feet coming off the ground. She appeared to be sitting on it and crossed her legs and arms as she addressed the boil in an educational!way.
I'mma taztelwurm. We call ourselves taztelwurms where I come from... if ya ain't no tatzel... what'sa hellhound? Figured ya were some sorta other kinda tatzel with them ears n' tail, critter. I haven't met much folk outside a ma own, ya'know what I mean? ... not from the foggy mountains, are ya.
The last bit wasn't so much a question as a realization on her part. Now she wanted to know more. Amazing! Another new discovery today! Another kinda folk?

Demi was sure he was going to get a twitch in his eye from the ghoul in front of him, he could feel the vein starting to throb and move angrily. It was a shame he wouldn't hit a ghoul, normally. He wasn't going to count the time with Savior, that was an exception.
"That's how you say hello, by suffocation!?" he gasped out as the sweet air filled his lungs, he never appreciated the beauty of air till now. This ghoul, she was naive danger wrapped in a little innocent package, oh and that really long tail. He looked at the appendage with a big of discomfort, glad that his tail was just the way it was. In fact, after today, he might spend some extra time brushing it, which was a joy in itself.
"Im a hellhound, emphasis on hound, canine, DOG, not everything with ears and a tail was this tazelwhatsit your talking about!" He bit out darkly, feeling his patience slip in front of this ghoul, any other time he would have shown a bit of remorse for doing so, not now though. "No mountains, forest, and stop callin' me a critter!" This ghoul did not just make him bristle, there was no way.
This wasn't as fun as messing with West.

Naw, not suffocatin'. Was expectin' ya ta return the greetin'! Woulda let ya go when we'd been all properly introduced. Levi decided not to mention her intent to headlock him once they'd shared a tailhug in kinship. That would've been the usual thing to do followed by a roll-around on the floor, but... seeing as how he was confused enough as it was...
Tilting her head to one side and taking in what the boil was saying, she made a mental note to research what a hellhound was. Whether or not this mental note would remain saved or not in her internal memory was a different story. A dog?... that's interesting. Likely explained that fluffy tail then. She nodded in agreement like she already knew everything the boil said.
Pup, I'd call ya by yer name if ya'd give it 'er whatever ya'd like ta be called. Just wantin' ta make nice is all. Since this'll be ma home ferm ere'on in. She felt a little sorry that this boil lacked mountainous terrain or forests where he came from. Uncrossing her legs, she rose back up on her feet. Her tail curled and unravelled in implication of excitement. She felt this boil had potential in him for a good scrapping regardless of him having such a stumpy fluffy tail. Not that she disliked the tail... fluffy things were fun to pet.

Oh, and there it was, Damien felt the muscle above his eye move rapidly all on its own. Sharing a dorm house with this girl my jack watch over him and give him the FEAR not to throttle this ghoul in her sleep. "Well think that greeting more than sufficed, thank you." Demi didn't see the problem with a handshake or a wave, mauling someone just seemed like way too much.
He watched her with a wary eye, as the twitch continued. Don't call me pup, Demi is fine, better yet, don't call me anything." he huffed out as he turned his head in defiance like a toddler would. It didn't really hit home that she wold be staying in the same dorm as he was till she said it on her own, and felt his body stiffen up at the horrid thought.
Same dorm, possibly even the same floor, OR EVEN NEXT DOOR TO HIM!
Maybe if he was fast enough, he could get a transfer into the ghost dorms."Wh-what did you just say?" He stuttered out, hoping it was just a slip of the tongue, not the monster dorms, anywhere but here!

Levi didn't pick up on the negativity till the boil turned his head at her mentioning of the term pup. Of course! He was still pretty small in comparison to her... but none of the youngins she had dealt with ever liked to be referred to as a kid.
Pleasure ta meet yer acquaintance, Demi! A wild toothy grin perked from her lips and she snickered. Finally a name to the face of her new friend. Such excitement! Things were looking up already!
Yep! This 'ere will be ma home away ferm home! Still need ta have a look see 'bout the room though... A lightbulb when off in her head as she realized the crumpled paper was still in her hands. She held it out to Demi gesturing that her room number was written on it with a tilt of her chin. Any idears on where this here number is? Awful 'lota space 'round these mansions, looks like.

Demi just didn't know what else to say to the ghoul with the bouncy tail, she was as dense as blood pudding speckled with candy corn. It felt like that twitch was going to become a normal reaction to her presence.
"uh, charmed, I'm sure." he said dryly, barely holding back the snarl he wanted to show her, but she might have thought it was a friendly face or something.
He watched with a bored look as she handed him the paper, with the monster dorm listed on it in bright orange. Joy. Sharing a dorm with this ghoul. "Looks like your upstairs, floor 3, right wing." He said simply, handing it back to her. He was never going to tell her where his dorm was. EVER. "And its not a mansion, a dorm house."

Charmed, ain't that just pickled puddin'! Taking back the piece of paper and backtracking with a skip n' a hop, the ghoul took up her giant backpack again. Walking back up to Demi with the clanging of pots decorating her movement, Levi gave the hound a slap on the shoulder as she walked past him towards the steps of the building.
Appreciate yer help, Demi! I just know we'll be seeing loads of eachother ferm 'er on in. So maybe next time ya'll will show me what a hellhound is made 'a, yeah? I'll be lookin' out fer ya Her implication, of course, was equivalent to that of giving an invitation for a teaparty. She just wasn't so refined. Raw brawling would do just fine for her.
Performing the same bouncy skip as earlier, she quickly made her way up the stairs and disappeared into the dorm. For now...

Demi gave out a sigh of relief when he saw the ghoul starting to take her leave of him, at least till she slapper him in the arm and made him wheel around to glare at her with a snarl. "Yeah, yeah fine. See you. Never."
His hands were balled up into tight fists as he glared daggers into her escaping form. What a positively infuriating ghoul. Before all this he just wanted to go for a nice relaxing run, now he needed it just to get rid of all the anger and wear himself out.
At least the twitch in his eye went away. He'd take the minor victory.

It was only a few moments past when the white haired ghoul returned to the entrance way of monster dorm. No sack was visible, but she seemed to have a frying pan in hand. Why was there only a frying pan? It looked like he was getting ready to go for a run. Oh dear, she should get his attention quickly! She called out to the hellhound waving the frying pan around frantically with one hand held high.
AEY THAR! DEMI! WAIT UP 'A SEC! JUST NEEDIN' SOMTHIN' FERM YA!
