Amphi blinked as the undead ghoul in clothing much like a banshee she met, met them at the door. She admired the simple transparency of the garment and the way it seemed so light and airy. though she blushed and then ducked her head shyly, still gripping Roch's hand tightly.
"Ah...Yes I am not his ghoulfriend-" Her blush even darkened at that before smiling at the ghoul instead, "My name is Amphitrite and I am trying to be friends with Roch. It's nice to meet such a lovely ghoul as yourself." She fingered the robe. "Your outfit is strange but appealing um...Ms. Monica?" She flushed again, "I apoligize but I come from the sea and have yet to see things such as these."
At the mention of food, Amphi started with a "no no I wouldn't want to put you through -GROWL-" Her face couldn't get any redder as her stomach growled loudly and she stared embarrassed, apparently stalking the reaper made her hungry, "I am so sorry Ms. Monica....that...That was rude." She looked at Roch for help....

Roch sighed, seeing that he was stuck. Stuck, stuck, stuck. She was going to go into the casino and meet his granddad and--
Hmmmm...
That could go either way, couldn't it? Danny freakin' LOVED Vegas, which he seriously didn't get, but Xiu was a bit uncomfortable around the older reapers--then again, hell, this wasn't Xiu and this wasn't Danny, so he had no CLUE how she'd react to Vegas--
"Why the hell did you tell him he could have the entire crate?" a deep male voice called from ahead of them as Monica grabbed Amphi's hand and pulled her into the casino.
"Oh darkling, you're starving!" Monica cooed. "Just come with me, I'll take care of that right now! And don't you dare give my Rochy a hard time, Vegas! It's an extra crate, and he can give some to his friends!" she yelled at the massive white haired reaper sitting at one of the round tables in the room. There was a stage to the left with a pole in the middle.

Amphi gave a look at Roch, a curious look as she was ushered in and looked around her new surroundings. Tables set up around the floor with a stage and a curious metal object from the stage ground to the ceiling shone with reflected light.
All in all, Amphi was glad to be in HERE then out THERE. It was much nicer in here. She let Monica lead her, past a giant man making himself comfortable on one of the round tables. She blinked as she looked at the man and tried to recognize him.
"Um..." She flushed as Monica urged to feed her. "thank you very much Ms. Monica." She flushed as the undead let her go to make food and looked at the big man again. So this was Vegas....Roch's grandfather.
"Hello Mr. Vegas. It's a pleasure to meet you." She looked to Roch first before the bigger reaper. "My name is Amphi....I'm um....Trying to be friends with your grandson." Again she flushed. She didn't feel any danger from the big man yet, but.....she was still in the meet and greet and politeness.

Vegas stared at her blankly. "Trying," he repeated a bit stupidly. "Ain't never heard of the boil making someone try," he said bluntly. "Especially a pretty little ghoul." He looked at Roch, who gave him a truly dirty look in return.
"Come with me, darkling! The kitchen is this way!" Monica said, tugging Amphi away. "Why don't we leave the boils to talk?" Then she gave Roch a warning look, as if she was going to chew him out later--he wasn't surprised.

Amphi nodded and repeated, "Trying." She smiled at the older man, flushing at his compliment. "Thank you sir but I am nothing special." she flushed before waving at Roch and Vegas. "It was really nice to meet you for a second Mr. Vegas." Amphi smiled at Monica though as she tugged her into the kitchen. Her stomach growling again.
"I can't thank you enough for the food. I guess following Roch around and dealing with those guys made me hungry." She waited, "Why would Roch and Vegas need to talk? Did I get Roch in trouble?"

"Shhhh," Monica said as she got together a nice large piece of chocolate pie on a plate and handed it to the ghoul. She had left the kitchen door open so she could blatantly listen.
"So?" Vegas asked. He didn't bother to lower his voice. "What the jack are you thinkin?"
"I'm thinkin' she's stalking me," Roch said honestly, straddling a chair and leaning forward on the back. "She's one of those type... like Xiu, I think."
"Oooooh, so it all goes back to the little baku, hmm? Coward."

Amphi quieted instantly as Monica shushed her before nodding. Taking her piece of pie and nibbling on it. She curiously glance around the door to hear the deep voice of Vegas and the lighter voice of Roch.
She tried not to blush as he mentioned her stalking (cause let's face it, she totally was....) and continued to eat her pie. But then....Xiu?
Xiu was a shy ghoul, sweet now. Not so Naive. Xiu was what Amphi wanted to be! How could Roch even compare her to Amphi.
Flushing she cocked her head more, still curious. The pie wasn't forgotten but she was curious as to what it meant that it went back to her best friend. What did Roch and Xiu have together that made it hard for him and Amphi to being friends?
She stepped back and gestured to Monica.
"Am...Am I a bother to Roch?"

"That... is a very interesting question," Monica admitted with a curious look. "I wonder why that would be, though," she added almost silently.
"So you had a crush," Vegas said callously. "Get over it. Get on with your life, boil, how many times have I told you you're a good lookin' kid, you'll find someone that likes you back?"
"Sure I will," Roch agreed. "But I ain't stupid, old man. I'm not gonna mess around with that type again, makin' a jackin' fool of myself--" He snorted, shaking his head slightly. "I lost a guy that coulda been a hell of a lot of fun as a pal over that one."
"Jack that," Vegas said. "It's in the past. And I don't see you makin' an a** of yourself over anyone."
"I dedicated a jackin' SONG to her in public--I--no, Gramps, I learned my lesson. It's best for everyone just to avoid that type."

Amphi blinked though as she got no real answer and continued to listen.
Vegas's deep voice continued to talk, causing the mermaid to lean in again. Roch had a crush on Xiu? Thana had talked about these things. Flirting, seduction....Crushes. It was hard not to see Thana reminding her constantly that boils crushed on ghouls like her. Because of her personality.
She just ate her pie quietly though. Uncomfortable with the idea that Roch would put himself through something that wasn't really something he was comfortable with in the first place.
She set the plate down. Looking at the floor unsure how to be, how to face him. Part of Amphi was wholly confused and another remembered a similar incident with Mac. She had been a replacement for Lizzy. Because she was a nice ghoul.
Did being nice really cause trouble for boils as nice as Roch?
"I think I should go Monica." She looked sad as she said it. She really really wanted to be friends. To have someone that was fun to sing with and she could come to with problems. She didn't want to BE the problem. "Maybe....Maybe Roch doesn't need another friend that just reminds him of....those feelings." She just frowned. It bothered her to yet again be compared but.......To not stick through being a friend. It wasn't Amphi's style. "I don't know what to do. I don't understand these Heart matters." She needed to talk to Thana about this again. She needed to talk to the one she could trust right now to explain to her how to still be friends with someone who compared her to someone that hurt him. Was that even possible?

"Thought you got over that a long time ago," Vegas said before Monica could reply.
"Sure I did," Roch said, sounding honest. "Hell, once I figured out what the problem was I was over it completely. Still awkward as hell talkin' to her, though," he said.
"So what was the problem?"
"The whole steppin' into my dreams--it jacked with my mind. You know, baku stuff."
"This one's a mermaid. Really doubtin' she can get into your dream--" And abruptly he started laughing. "You're red as a fire truck, boil, what happened?"
Monica grabbed Amphi's sleeve, not about to let her leave.

Amphi was trying to make a quick exit when Monica grabbed her sleeve, urging her back into her seat.
Amphi flustered got a single
"But-" before she heard them with their talk still. She knew of Xiu's dream walking, of her being a baku, though she never experienced the dream walking of Xiu, she wouldn't mind her best friend doing it. Xiu knew everything about About Amphi mostly anyways.
"Um....Why would Roch get red over something? Why is Roch blushing?" Amphi gestured over to Monica again, "Did Mr. Vegas say something-"

"Mermaids, huh," Vegas said knowingly. "Well, either way, seems to me that she's nothing like the baku."
"Wh--what?"
"Look, kid, YOU were the one chasin' the baku. She didn't rightly know how to handle it. The mermaid's the one chasin' YOU. Does she seem the type to be traumatized by you dedicating a song to her? Which should only be embarrassing if you blew it. DID you blow the song?" Vegas asked.
"Hell no I didn't!" Roch said, offended at the very idea.
"Then you get a jackin' good guitarist playin' a song for you in public--kid, what you did isn't on the same lines as one of those idiots with a stereo over their heads in the parking lot. It isn't even in the same atmosphere, much less league. So here's my thoughts. Make friends with the ghoul. Or don't. Hell, let her keep chasing you around and keep saving her when she gets in too deep. You might get lucky. Either way, chances are good she's listening right now--"
"Whoops, busted!" Monica whispered a bit too cheerfully.

Amphi agreed with Vegas in the first place.
Mermaid =/= Baku.
Xiu was much cuter then Amphi anyways. Amphi also agreed with the fact that she was the one chasing Roch. Because he didn't want to be her friend and that sad. She wanted all the friends!
"He did sing though, Wonderfully." Amphi looked over at Monica and smiled..."But then he ran away....."
"Oh...How did Mr. Vegas know we were listening?!? Was I too loud?" She flushed at the undead woman. "Are we in trouble?"

"No, of course not!" Monica said, tugging her back into the main room. "You!" she said, pointing at Roch, "apologize to Amphi right this instant!"
"Whut?" Roch asked blankly.
"I don't know what happened with this Xiu ghoul, but obviously this is completely different! So apologize and be friends with Amphi!" She was giving him the serious "grandmother" look and he almost rolled his eyes. "Or at least try and get to know her!"
Roch hesitated, scowling slightly as he thought for a long moment. "She shouldn't be in here when the casino opens up. C'mon, I'll take you back to school," he said, instead.

Amphi blinked as Monica pulled her back into the main room, flushing at Vegas who was just talking about her before and then at Roch.
"Oh..Oh it's okay Ms. Monica!" Amphi tried to pat the older woman down, throughly confused as to why she wanted ROCH to apoligize to her before smiling. "I won't force Roch to do anything he doesn't want to....yet." She gave him a awkward calculating smile.
Yes thats right, the mermaid was being calculating.
"It was nice meeting you both though, Roch is lucky to have you both. I hope to come see you again." She smiled at them both before standing over by Roch. "Are you really going to take me back? What about the guys outside that were....wanting to be my friend too?" She didn't want any trouble for Roch if it was going to push him away from being her friend.
