Xaejil was currently a ghoul with purpose. She'd settled her dorm room and now was in the process of mentally cataloging all the points of interest on campus. She needed to know what was where.. just in case. In case of what? She was sure there was something fishy going on at all times. It was just a matter of discovering it. She felt eyes on the back of her neck. Was someone watching her? The area in front of the dorms was full of milling students. It could be anyone. (f o _ o )f

There was someone watching, because it was how Olivia spent most of her day unless in class or something else had caught her attention. It was her default activity, just picking a spot and watching the comings and goings of the student body. It was entertaining.
Her current spot had been picked with little thought besides 'well that looks nice,' upon one of the low walls near one of the dorm buildings. Her blackened hands neatly arranged upon the folds of her puffy blue skirt as her short legs dangled. The white haired beholder wasn't her intended target at first, often there were no targets as creeple passed all around her and her gaze just lingered from student to student until it did settle on Xaejil. Because if the other ghoul felt herself being watched, Olivia had begun to wonder if she was herself. What with the eye looking adornments that were on her persons, were they looking at her? She couldn't really tell, Olivia tilted her head to the side and stared back at the particular ones at the ends of Xaejil's hair.

It wasn't until Olivia's head turned that Jil knew exactly who was looking at her. She pinned the ghoul with her pink eyes, a stern expression on her delicate features. "Excuse me." She walked definitively over, no thought to shyness or propriety, "Is there a problem?"

Getting noticed wasn't something new in the creeple watching hobby. Usually nothing bad seemed to come from it, actually most of the time conversations seemed to spark which were actually rather nice. But this seemed to be one of those times that Olivia had to wonder if that person on Critter was correct; that some didn't like being stared at. Hm. That look didn't seem very happy.
But it didn't falter Olivia's smile all the same, still there even as she shook her head. "No," she said in her quiet voice. "Was the watching not okay?" Perhaps best to ask.

"I.. suppose it is fine." Having as many eyes as she did, hidden as they may be, Xaejil could hardly fault someone else for looking. "I am a new student. Perhaps I am being sensitive towards things unintentionally.." He voice was soft but a bit robotic and very formal. The ghoul seemed to pause a moment before stepping aside to converse with Olivia. "My name is Xaejil. What is yours?"

So, she didn't mind after all, unlike what that person on Critter implied (haha, take that Critter person?). She didn't really know the feeling being described to her, but it seemed like she was in the clear at least. Or it was simply glossed over for the more interesting bits about Xaejil's status as a student and her formal introductions.
"I'm Olivia," she greeted with following eyes as the beholder moved, "I've been a student for a few Octobers now." Other creeple customarily held their hands out, as she remembered, so she held out her own towards the other ghoul. Yes, she was initiating something, this was exciting.

A few octobers? So she was still quite new? It was new enough for Jil. She felt decidedly more comfortable knowing that. When Olivia extended a hand, the demon ghoul looked at it a moment and then extended her own. She didn't exactly take it, just sort of thrust her own out in pantomime. "How have you found school?" Her pink eyes were super penetrating underneath her white lashes. "Have you heard.. ah.." she seemed suddenly conspiratorial. "odd occurences?"

The gesture of shaking hands seemed as new to Xaejil as it was for Olivia initiating it. They were supposed to clasp and shake, so the ghoul moved her hand over enough to just do that and then let go of it. There, everything seemed to be in order now.
It took a moment for the wight to reply as she mulled over the other's words, thankfully managing to stop herself from giving a very literal answer to the question of finding the school. Because that's probably not what she meant. "It's amazing," she seemed to chirp, eyes aglow, "everyone is very nice and there are many interesting things to learn." Of course, Olivia could go on and on about the field trips.
But the second question, her head tilted as she hummed to herself to recall anything she had heard in her usual wanderings. Many of the students would gossip about one thing or another, but so many things didn't seem to be ... odd to them. Scarentines seemed normal, the prom thing, mishaps with natural abilities and fights. Olivia recalled two boils discussing how another friend accidentally turned himself a bright shade of pink, but they had laughed about it. "Some black creatures attacked the school not long ago?" Did that count?

Jil filed this 'handshake' motion away for the future. The next time someone offered, she'd know what to do. How weird. "Black creatures?" She perked, suddenly looking very interested and almost brightening. "I think I read about them in the papers? They attacked the maul also? And some people there?" She tilted her head a bit, the gathered bits of hair clacking a bit as the eye-shaped beads hit one another. "You don't know if there were..." She leaned in and spoke softly, the words hissing through her pointed teeth. "white coated reapers?" chirigami gonna assume something about heartless was public since they attacked questies in the maul

Was she brighter? It didn't go unnoticed, though honestly Olivia was unsure of the cause or if it was just her imagination. But the topic seemed to interest the other ghoul, which pleased her either way. Even if she shook her head, "I didn't hear anything about the maul just the school." Would explain some of the destruction she saw. "I was at the gates helping the others."
The next question though. Going to a completely different color scheme and Olivia had to think about that one. Her eyes unfocused for a moment, trying to recall seeing any white coats - reapers specifically. It was a little vague in some ways, given how diverse any of the creatures in Halloween dressed themselves. "There were weird creeple with weird white coats on the islands," she finally recalled. They had attacked her and her friends, they made the islands fall. They had nets too. Perhaps them?

"Islands?" At the words 'white coats' Xaejil's reserve seemed to break. She was keen and interested and her small mouth had shifted into an odd smile. "Tell me more. Please.." She scooted closer to Olivia and actually hoisted herself to sit next to where the other ghoul had been only seconds before. "You see.." Her eyes bored into Olivia. "There's a conspiracy on this campus. I'm sure of it." Her voice had become a whisper.

Was her little bit of information actually helpful? A pleased smile spread across Olivia's lips, not in the least but put off with how much closer the other ghoul was getting closer to her. It was company either way, someone to sit by. The wight liked that.
"The Islands of the Horseman," she further explained as requested. "I wasn't a student yet but I got to go with the school to the islands, it was very neat even if Death was a little hot." Not the exact information, but it was something she liked telling. It had been fun after all. "Then something happened when we were ready to head home, I don't really remember but there was a big fight." Her gaze was going a little unfocused again as she continued to recall as she could, and her tone a little more serious than normal, "and there were creeple with white coats attacking us and they had guns with nets. Willow was .. attacked, and my other friends were too and I fought another ghoul and the tiles did weird things because one exploded under me and then the islands fell and that's why the horsemen are living with us."
Unsure of what else to say, and pretty impressed with the amount she had, her eyes returned focus on the other ghoul in time to notice the pink upon her. Olivia blinked a few times after her tale, eyebrows perking slightly at what she was being told. "Conspiracy?" A familiar term, though she didn't know the proper meaning of it, "does it have to do with the white coats?" At least she could fit it with context.
iloveyouDIE sorry for the belated tag @_@ July was busy ~

White coats. Trapping weapons. It all sounded familiar to the beholder ghoul. Her colony had been following the stories for years trying to exact vengeance for their own loss, but it was almost impossible. Someone had to be covering it all up! "Yes." Jil was glad to find another ghoul so generous with information and open to her own theories. "Halloween citizens. Being taken." Didn't the net guns make sense now? "They never return." Jil was leaning in close to the wight now, invasively close. Realizing it made her self conscious and Jil cleared her throat to sit back up straight. "Thank you." Her robotic tone returned mildly, "for the information."

"Never?" Olivia blinked at what the other ghoul was telling her, unsure if she had been told any of this. Being told about the nature of the guns, she could remember but nothing else from that. Or was she? That day had been very eventful after all and details could have been missed after things calmed down.
Still, it was surprising. And she hadn't seen any trace of those kinds of reapers since then, not even news. "You're welcome." Olivia still managed to reply, having not moved even with the small invasion of personal space (which she didn't really think of anyways, she invaded plenty of times herself after all).
"Are you looking for them?" An innocent enough question.

"Never.." She whispered gravely, finding an odd comfortin having someone to conspire with even a little bit. "And yes I am looking for them. They took my colony-brother." Jil shook her head and her pink eyes narrowed ferociously. One tiny fist tightened and shook. "I want to get revenge." chirigami Jil is a tiny ball of vennngeaaaance!
