"ES MUYYYY FRIIIOOO!!" the reaper bellowed at the top of her lungs as she stepped out into the cold outside of the reaper dorm. Then she stopped, shivering violently and looking around guiltily. That definitely hadn't been ladylike. But at the same time, she had actually put on shoes (sandals) and she was STILL freezing!
The reaper ghoul wrapped her arms around herself, her teeth chattering as she bounced up and down, trying to warm herself up. Los Muertos had NEVER been this cold! Oh, how she missed it! But--but she was here now, she thought, she would just have to learn to deal with the cold--
Or freeze to death. *insert dramatic daydreams over freezing to death here."

Siobhan was rolling around in the grass, her long ten feet of hair rolling her up like a burrito. She giggled happily, apparently having fun wrapping and unravelling herself over and over.
Her rolly travels led her to the reaper dorms, where she was now dizzy. She rose to stand, wobbling in place and holding her head. "Don't feel so goood..."
Siobhann of course was wearing not much at all. Her long, thin dress not meant for colder weather. But as a ghost, hot or cold meant very little to her comfort. Her gaze fell on a reaper shivvering. With a wobbly wave she floated over.
"FRIOOOOOO to you too, Miss!" Siobhan liked yelling too.

Terra blinked, distracted from her dramatic moment, and looked at the ghost with a curious expression. "Buenos Dias," she said, through chattering teeth. "But I do not want more frio, gracias, it is very much enough now," she explained, rubbing her arms and starting to jump up and down again. "By chance, you--no, I see you do not have a spare coat on you."
Maybe she could just wear a blanket wherever she went? Perhaps she could cut holes in it for the arms and head--

"OH! Are you cold?" Siobhan asked curiously, floating closer, long hair dragging against the fallen leaves. "Spare coat.. do you not own a coat? Oh! I know how to procure things that are needed! A vampire male told me how! Come!"
Siobhan grabbed her wrist and tugged her forward.
"To the maul, yes?"

"Maul?" Terra repeated. "Is there--" she paused, finding a word, "coats at the maul?" she asked with burgeoning hope. "I did not bring one--I do not own one, no, there was no need for one where I am from," she explained, following the ghost willingly. "I am Terra, I am from Los Muertos! Se--What is your nomb--what is your name?" she asked.
Oh, this changing of her language was most difficult indeed! "And you know un--a vampire?" she asked. "Did he drink your blood?"

My name is Siobhan~ Come, Terra. A coat will most certainly help you!" And if there was one thing Siobhan loved more than window shopping, it was actual shopping!
"What? No, silly!" Siobhan giggled. "I do not have adequate blood for a vampire." Goodness knows what drinking ectoplasm would do to his tummy, after all.

"But you have a very pretty neck, so I would not have blamed him if he tried!" Terra said in a strange sort of compliment. "I have never met un--a vampire," she admitted. "Are they as romantically scary as the movies make them to be?"
Oh lord help us were she ever to meet Lou OTL.
"With the dramatic cape and black hair and pale skin," she went on, her eyes gleaming as she remembered a movie that had been played in the town square years before.

"Oh my~" Siobhan blushed blue, holding her cheek with a free hand. To think she received such a wonderful compliment from a stranger! The banshee squealed and wiggled while floating.
"Romantic? Well.. I am not sure? I mean.. he was a very handsome boil! Dark hair and pale skin.. No cape, though. Have you not met a vampire before?"

"No, there are not many vampires where I come from," Terra admitted. "There are not many with blood there, either," she admitted. "Most of the town is Catrina and skeleton," she explained. "They are rather lacking in blood... and skin... and eyes," she listed as she blindly followed the other ghoul. "But they have wonderful bones!"

"Oh.. how queer!" Siobhan observed with a tilt of her head. "Oh.. but then I suppose where I come from is not different. I come from a crawlspace of a coven!" That's where she'd woken up as a ghost, and that's where she lived until they sent her away.
"Do they polish their bones since they do not bathe?" Siobhan didn't actually know whether or not a skeleton bathed.

"They bathe!" Terra said. "They are very conscientious, but they also polish their bones," she said. "Good bone care is very important," she added seriously. "If you are not careful, small rodents can crawl into awkward places, such as your skull. Or moths. Moths are horrrrrible. They flutter around and give un dolor--a terrible headache."
The town was in sight now, and she stared at it in wonder. "It is so big," she said. "The buildings--they are so tall!" she said.

"They must drink a lot of milk!" That was for building bones, yes?
The thoughts that moths and things could get trapped in the skull was dizzying. The banshee let go of Terra to hold her ears protectively. She let go once they saw the town, smiling and holding Terra's hand again. Because that was a sign that they were friends.
All of the friends belong to Sio.
"Yes! Is it not a feast for your eyeballs?" She sighed dreamily. "Come! Let us go to the maul. It has so many shops."

"I cannot spend very much," Terra said, reaching with her free hand into her pocket to finger the small bag of seeds she had there. "My town--they give me so much money, I cannot spend it frivolously, it would be disrespectful," she explained. Then a tiny, evil, wicked, thought crept into her mind.
"Senorita Siobhen, have you ever heard of a man named Senor Vegas?" she asked. "I wonder if they would... somehow... send the bill to him... he is my papa, after all."
No, probably not, she thought. Ah, but it wouldn't hurt to try!

"I know the feeling. I do not have many seeds either. You are very fortunate, Terra. Your town must love you very much." Siobhan giggled, swinging their arms as she entered the maul.
"Senor Vegas?" Was she supposed to know this person? Was he famous? Siobhan thought she knew all the latest boilbands! Oh.. it wasn't a boilband.
"OH! Well, no need to burden your Papa! I have a better way! The vampire taught me." Siobhan nodded, and approached a store with jackets. "Just let me know when you find what you need, and I will set my plan into action."

"Oh, no, I very much WANT to burden him," Terra said, her eyes gleaming with something out of sync with the rest of how she'd been acting. "But I do not think they will accept my word that he is my padre. At least not yet."
Oh, but sooner or later she would figure out a way to make him pay. Maybe she would steal his signature or stamp or something. As soon as... well... she found him.
Her eyes caught on the clothes though, and she was distracted. "They have... many clothes here--many, maaannny clothes."
