Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Sure, let's have a little walk", Eisheth agreed easily. She kept silence, though. The alchemist was feeling a bit tired.

Too much information, too many things to contemplate, too many people around: she started getting used to the usual Halloween and Amityville festivities, but the sheer amount of joy was sometimes overwhelming. In fact, she could not yet feel herself as a part of this particular one social organisation: it was sooo different from everything she was, from the strict order and hierarchy; Halloween and the school were chaotic, hectic, fluctuating... there was no base, no foundation to feel safe. She probably had not considered herself to be a part of it, - she was still just a part of Famine, - well, of the Lost Clan now, and the was fact that the Lost Clan itself was a part of Halloween... she were trying to ignore.

The alchemist tasted some eye scream she picked up from one of the booths. The flavour was mellow, and fruity; she grinned. Besides, she was still thinking over their conversation with a young ghoul she met at the Christmas play tryouts... for the first time after they arrived to Halloween she felt the weight of her age, how old she actually was comparing to those scarelings, - and how little she knew about their world, the worlds she had been thrown into. And for the first time, may be, in her entire life, it felt lie a burden.

Eisheth cast a thoughtful glance over the ghoul. Hm...

"Dorms sound intriguing indeed", her eyes brightened as she smiled, but the demon won't see it: the kerchief was still hiding the alchemist's mouth. "Don't be embarrassed, I'm just kidding", she put her hand on Danny's shoulder.

"Actually... tell me about this place. Amityville, I mean. Its history. People. How was it founded? Who was the founder? Why is this school so important for the Halloween? Why are you here, what was you reason to get enrolled? Tell me about the headmistress and professors. Hellma. Have you met her? What is she like? Red... the dead professor, but she is no dead, I've seen her just half an hour ago. What happened to her?", her look was warm and cheerful, though her manner of asking questions resembled a trader at the auction.

The ghoul's explanation was unrewarding. In fact, she didn't tell a single thing, and Eisheth was quite amazed how one can talk so much without actually saying anything; she though only Conquest members are capable of doing that (though, in a completely different manner). The alchemist looked at the demon attentively: hm... this ghoul might be not stupid at all, and this pose, this mask is surely convenient. Or perhaps, she's just putting too much into this... Eisheth closed her eyes for a moment, and then opened them wide staring into Danny.

"I guess, we don't need those "passports", - she pronounced this word as if the sheer idea of a "permission" was offending her. - "to go to the Human world and scare humans. Yet, we aren't interested in just scaring them."

The alchemist sighed.

"And I do indeed have questions. In my clan we believe... we used to believe", she corrected herself. - "that if you want to know something about the society, learn something about its member. Tell me about yourself. Do you enjoy being here? What are your plans for the future? You should have thought what you're going to do after graduation already. Do you have a boilfriend, or a ghoulfriends, and who are you interested in generally?", Eisheth tried to put this question right in the middle of their conversation; she sounded perfectly sweet and innocent.

"And actually, yeah, I'd be grateful, if you show me the Dorms. On Famine, we used to have just one huge dormroom for everyone, so, no private life how you put it. Everything you do, everyone were able to see, no secretssss".

It was probably the first time Eisheth was invited into one of the students' room; she hadn't even been to Mei's room before. Fascinated and amused, for a moment she forgot the whole purpose of the tour, as well as their conversation: she was wandering around the dorm gazing at various minipets doing their own business, and the strange objects, such as the big sheet of paper containing some unknown spells: smt about the pumpking and groans, and spring...

The alchemist almost stumbled into a little lava fountain, and had to use all her willpower to restrain from touching it with her finger. Eisheth, of course, never heard about such concept as a "museum", but she was clearly showing the typical behaviour of a museum visitor.

"Eh... mmmm.....", what were they talking about?... "I'm sorry, it's just so entertaining, and intersting....", Eisheth's voice was soft, yet distant. "Ah! Your boilfriend, Rikki... dunno, if I had seen him. Does he fancy the horsemen?"

..and then Eisheth discovered the large dark panel, it was SkeeVee, but she had no idea about it. "How do you use that, and what is it for?", she pointed at various games with vivid covers lying on the floor.

Oh Queen, the ghoul got her completely wrong, but it was quite funny. The alchemist had to use all her willpower to restrain from laughing.

"No, no, don't worry", she assured Danny. "I'm not quite interested in young boils. Tempting, but no, thank you", she smiled.

Young ghouls are different, though, she added to herself.

"Would you, please, teach me", she asked, "how do you use thing?", she pointed at SkeeVee again: Eisheth was really curious about this thingy.
