Theme: inherit

She had been to meeting after meeting, learning. Learning how to persuade, assure, negotiate, and when to walk away. Theirs was a business of trust and privacy. For someone who rarely spent time away from the family, Edel recognised that her father was going to some great lengths to teach her the family trade personally.

The rides back home were usually quiet, with both father and daughter absorbed in thought. Today was a little different.

"I had recently come to an agreement with the Elof household," he paused, allowing the ghoul to give her full attention to what was being said, "We will begin a partnership with the auction house, located quite conveniently in Halloweentown -"

The man noted the slight look of confusion on the ghoul's face, though her expression was one that was seeking confirmation of certain suspicions.

"- which you will be in charge of."

He paused and smile. "I trust that you will do well."

A flash of worry cross his face, as he had forgotten to mention something. "The young head of the Elofs ...may be a little difficult to get through to," he was speaking through his own experience, recalling a particularly unfortunate conversation over tea. Art certainly was not his pet topic, however...

"But, you might just get along with him."

Theme: Escape

This was probably a stupid idea. All the minipets in the room shared a common disapproval. Even the artic BB wolf curled up in bed gave the ghoul a disgruntled look, before settling back down to sleep. Edel was determined, however, to at least try.

Thus began the execution of a ploy Most Inappropriate for a Proper Lady. A rope of bedsheets tied together was flung out of the window and the ghoul climbed out, abseiling down the wall. No way would the maidservants allow her to leave home being dressed like this.

As she neared the end of the rope (that miraculously did not give way), the ghoul carefully calculated the jump, letting go of the rope. The key was to roll once making contact with the ground, or at least, advice on the interweb told her to. The perpetual layer of snow would provide enough cushioning for any fall, however, and so the ghoul would find herself in a pile of futile action.

Her ride was there waiting for her, and the ghoul boarded the hound driven sleigh hastily. And soon, they had set off towards the mountain ridges. Nobody needed to know that she was going off to learn skiing from her visiting cousins.

Theme: Treasure

Days spent skiing and snowboarding down the mountains would, of course, incur some incidents. There was a broken arm for one, that the ghoul insisted she had gotten from falling down the stairs. It certainly caused quite a Fuss at home, and which took a few weeks to recover from.

But there was also some treasure to be found in the mountains, as she and her cousins would discover upon stumbling into one the many caves and crevices. Raiding a yeti's home didn't produce much, except for a lot of fallen fur and frozen poop. Another time they had been chased away by a very angry dragon. And there were those that they couldn't seem to enter no matter how they tried - the party would always find themselves back at the entrance.

They had struck upon gold once or twice - 6 old and tarnished pumpkin seeds to split amongst them three. Other finds included old journals and bit and pieces of broken gadgets. But the best loot were the old treasure maps, that would continue to fuel the never-ending cycle of treasure hunts.

Theme: Travel

While her cousins would pore over the old maps for new treasure to find, Edel would place her focus on studying the geography mapped out on them. There wasn't much information to be gleaned from some of the badly faded ones, or those that were clearly hand-drawn in a haste and of dubious accuracy (probably a scam sold to the unsuspecting traveller).

But she learned for certain that there was a vast world beyond the northern mountains and Halloweentown. The books in the library at home had some older maps and pictures, though likely very outdated. There were things she's like to see beyond her current world.

There was some time for that after graduation, perhaps. One long road trip to celebrate the end of a chapter.
