A loud wailing of a banshee echo'd through the dark halls of Amity. Inside an unmarked classroom, a long haired, dark skinned banshee held a poorly made dress to her bosom. Thread was everywhere, scarps of fabric strewn about as if an entire room's worth of drapes had been murdered.
The drapes from the large windows had been taken down, large cut outs evident on the floor.
The wailing was intense, and ear piercing.

Lizzy was not one to ignore loud wailing, especially since this long wailing was coming from a largely unused corridor. Maybe someone was lost and needed help finding their way out?
Either way, partially because of her own curiosity, she followed the sound of the wailing, plugging her ears with her fingers as she got closer to the source. Soon, she arrived at the scene of a murder most foul a classroom with the prime suspect a ghoul holding the murder victim what seemed like a dress.

Now that Lizzy was closer, it seemed like between wails, the ghoul was talking to herself while sobbing. Loud, shuddering sobs of despair.
"I ruined iiiiit!" She choked out another sob, sniffling back a runny nose. "I tried so h-h-haaaaard.. now the curtains are ruiiiiined.. m-my dresses fell apart... and its all my faaaaaault! I'm a SHAM..." Another choked sob, as she buried her face in the attempt at a handmade dress. In front of her, were a few other attempts at dresses of the same style. All of them had something wrong with them.
One had a lopsided hem, the other had too little fabric, and all of them had poorly sewn seams. Falling apart, or bunched together too tight.

Although she had her ears plugged, Lizzy could still hear most of what the ghoul was wailing about; besides, it wasn't a difficult guess, seeing how there were several other ruined dresses, along with the fabric which used to be the curtains, laying around.
"C-calm down," She managed, approaching the ghoul with a sheepish smile. When she was near enough, she patted the banshee gently on the top of her head while speaking in her best convincing voice, "There, there... You're not a sham! Not at all! It just takes loads of practice!"

Siobhan's wails lessened as she was approached, stifling sobs and staring up at the pink haired demon through tears soaked eyes. She sniffled, a sense of childish relief coming over her as her head was patted softly.
"B-b-but! I-I tried so hard! I... I knew exactly what I wanted.. I drew it out.. and I.. still..." She squeaked, a low whine rumbling in her throat as her emotioned brought her to want to wail again.
She looked down at her terribly frayed and pathetic looking dress attempt, her nose running from the sudden change in elevation of her head, tears falling like rain.
"I do not know what to doooooooo---" The wailing began again.

Since the head patting seemed to be working wonderfully for calming the ghoul down, Lizzy continued doing it, muttering the occasional "There, there". When she started crying again, the demoness winced, and patted at her pockets, silently lamenting her lack of a handkerchief... Although she quickly realized that the scraps of cloth laying around would make excellent makeshift handkerchiefs.
... Or maybe not, since it wouldn't exactly be sanitary.
"Let's go to the washroom and clean you up, alright?" She offered, still smiling sheepishly as she held her by her arm, "A friend of mine and myself know a little something or two about sewing... So we could give you tips? It's not easy to sew something, but you've tried your best! That's what matters here."

The snivveling banshee looked up and nodded, her dark face blushing blue from all her sobbing. "Mmmhmm!" Siobhan sniffled and took Lizzy's hand, abandoning the scraps of cloth she'd been clinging to.
Siobhan was sure she'd seen this ghoul before. Hot Springs? Prom? Probably a few places, but the banshee had a tendency to spend most of her time at Amity locked in her bedroom. Perhaps she had spoken with this ghoul before, but she simply just did not know her all that well. "U-uhm.. I think I have seen you around before, b-but your name escapes me. My name is Siobhan. I have been at Amity for one year and three months, but I am still a Snot. My hobbies include reading magazines, surfing the interwebs, and drawing."
She then smiled, "There! Now you know who I am! Friends?"

Lizzy started leading the ghoul out the room, and towards the nearest washroom. As they walked, she realized that there was something trailing behind the banshee; it didn't seem to be cloth of any sort... Hair?
"Siobhan..." She repeated the name given to her, frowning lightly as she looked away from her long hair; it was adorable how she chose to introduce herself, and she was secretly gleeing over it internally, but she couldn't shake the feeling that they've met before, "Wait... The school's hot sprints! Didn't we meet there once? I got tangled up in your hair... I think."
It's been so long that she wasn't sure.
"I'm Lizzy," She continued, returning the smile with one of her own, "I'm a Hob, and I've been here for a rather long time. I'll probably be graduating in a couple of Octobers, if everything goes well."

"Ah! So we did meet! I am terribly sorry if my hair gave you any sort of trouble!" Siobhan fretted, hands on her cheeks as if they were flushed in embarrassment.
"It is a pleasure to make your aquaintence, Lizzy!" The banshee smiled, "Awww.. so I must get to know you as best I can with what little time I have. I admit I have not been terribly brave when it comes to socialization. I wish to make amends, and try to make friends!"

"It wasn't any trouble at all," Lizzy replied with a light chuckle, leading Siobhan into a washroom by the side of the corridor. It was as empty as the classroom was, although slightly dusty from lack of use; she could hardly see her own reflection in the mirror, "It's not like I'll disappear forever after graduation! We can still keep in contact~"
Letting go of the ghoul's hand, she turned on the tap. It took a while for water to actually flow out, but it looked clean.
"Remember the friend of mine I mentioned earlier?" She asked, pulling out her skelephone, "I'm going to drop her a text while we're washing up here, and get her to meet us at the classroom... That way, you get to make another friend!"Eight Text to Junko: Unmarked classroom! Someone trying to learn how to sew. Bring stuff! <3 Oh! And she has loooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng hair. *u*

Oh my.. what a terribly dirty bathroom this was.
"Another friend? Oh yay! I am looking forward to it!" The banshee sighed happily, moving forward and cupping er hands under the tap. She would wipe clean the ectoplasm oozing from her nostrils! She would be tidy and presentable for this new friend!
Giggling to herself, she splashed water on her face, cleaning up the mess her face had been in from so much sobbing.

Lizzy had her at "From: Lizzy! =D" The rest was just the icing on the cake. Long hair? She knew what to do for long hair! One should hope she did, at least. She quickly packed up a bag of things to practice sewing with, hurrying to the room in question. Unmarked classroom? How many of those were there? Uh..was this the place? It uh.. It looked like a fashion murder scene. So many fabric scraps. "Lizzyyyy?" Junko blinked, looking all around for sign of her best friend.

Lizzy waited until Siobhan was done washing up before heading back to the classroom with her, reaching it just in time to hear someone calling for her.
"Junko!" She beamed, tackling the ghoul in a hug; she some reason, it felt like they hadn't seen each other in forever, although that wasn't the case... It had just been a rough couple of Octobers for her, which might be why it felt longer than it really was.
"This-" She turned on her heel, gesturing to the ghoul behind her, "-is Siobhan! The someone I told you about over text."

"A-ah!" Junko! She had seen this ghoul before. The banshee flustered a blue hue and bowed her head. "H-hello!"

Her Soulmate senses tingled moments before Lizzy arrived and tackled her in a hug. "LIZZY~!" Junko squealed and hugged her best friend as tightly as she was being hugged in return. She missed Sio at first, but when she did notice her she gasped with delight and clapped her hands excitedly. "Siobhan! It's been so long! Hi! We've met, but it was a moooonths ago." Junko was smiling even more now. She put her hands on her hips. "So you want to learn how to sew?" Then she came to the right ghouls! Especially with all that hair, Junko knew exactly what kind of clothes to wear for ghouls with hair like their's.
