Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Naturally, Sin Err. Pleasure to make your acquaintance, Willow is it?" Sin held out a hand.

She had to work hard not to let her eyes move over the ghoul in her usual judgmental fashion. She was here to make nice after all this wasn't about demons or status, this was just...small talk.

"Please sit, I'd love to hear a bit about you. How long have you been here at school?"

Willow's tail twitched as she watched the other introduce herself, "Yes, Willow Voltaire. Nice to meet you Sin Err." She returned the pleasantries as she took her seat with a small smile.

"How long, hm... Well I was enrolled shortly after, Open house." She smiled, "What about yourself? How long have you been enrolled?" Willow took a moment to look over the demon, and admire her.

"Yeah.... that field trip before winter break was a... interesting one." Actually that had been her first field trip at the school.

It was something that left a lasting impression to say the least, and while Sin hopped right on to the next subject Willow paused, "I guess you could say not technically, but I don't really know all my siblings either."

It was a vague answer, as she straightened the table cloth in front of her. "A lot of my family tends to do the whole 'loner' thing." She air quoted herself as she spoke. "We're not normally really big on large crowds. Sort of a force of habit, not to mention we're slightly territorial. However, while my mother has a small area she cares for, dad has a larger area because he tends to several other ghoulies as well. So I think I have some half siblings somewhere."

Willow's tail twitched, as she thought, "What about your family, do you have any siblings or a large family in general?"

Alex nodded along happily with the comment that he and Yin had a wonderful friendship, but he wanted to stop thinking about the weremantis now because every time he did there were suddenly funny feelings in his stomach and his chest got all tight. Considering he was supposed to be focusing more on Xiu at the moment he figured it would just be best to move on from the subject and focus on something else instead.

And so he eagerly grasped ahold of the new subject matter placed before him as Xiu answered his own question about her camera. His eyes lit up when she asked him if he had joined any clubs himself and he gave a small shake of his head. "No, but I've been thinking about joining some. I really need to get out and do more things outside of the classroom and library." He chuckled.

"Especially since I'm more comfortable around large groups." He added thoughtfully.

"Why, do you know of any good ones that I might be interested in?"
(Answered: 5, Asked: 4)

Willow's ears twitched slightly as she listened to Sin, "Oh your cousin? Might I ask their name?"

She smiled, maybe she knew Sin's cousin it'd be interesting if she did. Though if not it'd be someone else to keep an eye out for. She nodded at the mention of classes, "I don't really have a favorite so far, I came to learn about how different species interact mostly. Though, the minipet classes are very interesting and useful. I took human studies too, just to see what it was about"

This was a very interesting way to get to meet someone, "Oh, what's your favorite thing to do? Like not class wise but activities." Willow asked curiously, having thought maybe she could learn about things to do around the school through other students interests.

Maybe it was the way that Danny seemed incapable of focusing, or maybe it was the way her face looked when she furrowed her brows in concentration, or perhaps it was the way in which she whined when she didn't have the answer. Amarus stared at her: irritation, or some form of it, seemed to be blossoming within her, somewhere deep down. It nagged at her consciousness, and sooner or later, she imagined she wouldn't be able to quell it.

There was very little Amarus disliked more than a ghoul who whined. At least it got Amarus to stop asking so many questions. Typically, Amarus wasn't quite so talkative, but whenever the topic of souls came up she could hardly shut up. So it was with relative dissatisfaction that she finally quieted down and leaned back. She brought her feet up and sat cross-legged on the chair, folding her hands into various shapes: the kuji-kiri she used to channel her fighting spirit. For a sub-species which was so focused around making others at ease, and one which had such a natural sense of calm, Amarus loved to fight too much. Perhaps it was because when she was fighting, everything aligned to make sense. Amarus did not understand memories, feelings, friendship, clothing, movies, or even skariokart... until it was a competition. Then she could understand being better or worse than a competitor, and striving to best them.

That was what Amarus understood. She wasn't sure why she had asked Danny what her favourite food was, as Amarus didn't know much about foods nor did she care to. What followed in the discussion was even more useless to her, as she was notoriously awful with technology. Scariokart was as far as she'd gotten, she didn't even use an eyePhone, nor any kind of skellyphone, mind; if someone needed to get in touch with her, they'd have to work a little harder. Not that anyone needed to, so far. Anyone who wanted to see her would find she pretty much showed up.

"Technology tends to... how do I phrase this," she paused, "...it seems to not work, when I am around." It didn't, really; she didn't have some kind of natural technology-disrupting field, she was just really not good with it. Mort had tried to explain, once, but it seemed that her ignorance extended pretty far. For what she possessed in raw power and skill in combat, she lacked entirely in that kind of intelligence. She also hated books, so that wasn't even a possibility.

She couldn't really answer Danny's question in any kind of interesting way, then. "So basically, I've never seen a movie." Which was true. "Why, do you like movies? What's your favourite?" she asked, trying to prompt Danny, perhaps. She stared at Danny without blinking, her hands folded in her lap.

It seemed like this ghoul really got animated when she could talk about things she liked. Okay, well, that was a lot like Amarus herself, really-- it's just that movies appeared to excite Danny, while Amarus was more interested in fighting and souls. "I have no idea what either of those are," she said, her voice relatively flat. Not that it was unusual. Amarus' eyes were getting heavy, and she leaned her elbow on the table, resting her head in her palm. She watched Danny through half-lidded eyes, and she was now so sleepy that she didn't even bother taking offense to being called Am. What kind of a name was Am, anyway?

"Well, Dan, I don't know... I've been here since the haunted house thing... yeah. I was at the Maul when the Ginger Hizzy attacked and all." Amarus looked a little more animated, for a moment. That had been one crazy battle. She smiled into her hand when she remembered Riri with purse-Neil, retrieving his skull pin, the scarf around his face... Ah, she missed her friends. "You've been here a lot longer than me, right?"

"Why did you decide to study here?" Amarus asked. Because she was a ghost who'd come to Amityville in a kind of strange way, she forgot that some were able to choose to come here, rather than wind up here.
