Lou made no complains when their faces were suddenly touching. The warmth against his dead skin was always a pleasant feeling. "Neither do hookers. Sometimes you gotta search for the one that's right for you." The boil interjected, fake pouting when she pulled away. "But still, the hookers I've had encounters with in the past have nothing to do with the ones I'll meet someday."
The mother thing would've been a low blow, if he had truly cared. Instead, he just seemed surprised. "Wow. I didn't know you could be so brutal...
I like it!" Thrilling to know someone else would speak their mind so eagerly.
"But no. It really doesn't." Lou started to fiddle with his two white tufts of hair. "And besides, if it did, what could I do about it anyways? Seems pointless to worry about it."

Hel just rolled her eyes at the hookers bit and looked at her incredibly short nails before she bit on the corner of a ragged one, snorting. “This is pretty tame for me.” She informed him honestly, a bit muffled until she took her nail out of her mouth, and spat out the piece she just pulled off.
She stared back at him, still in disbelief. “Well, you could always go look…yanno…find answers…” She swung her feet a bit. “Anything could have happened to you! What if someone is looking for you? Maybe someone did it to you on purpose…what if you were a reaper before this?” Hel sat up straighter, thinking. “If someone did that to me, and I came back as an undead…I would want to know who and why…and then I would tear them limb from limb.”

"Well I hope your not sugar coating things to shield my delicate feelings from the iron fist that is your words." The pitch of Lou's voice shot up, batting his eyelashes at Hel with a pointer finger on his lips. How cute. "Also, that's pretty nasty. I bet your nails are going to look like you trim them with a rusty cleaver by the time you're 20."
But then it was back to serious times. "Well if someone was looking for me, I think they would've found me by now. I'm obviously not hiding." Lou shrugged.
The reaper comment, however, made him horse laugh. "A reaper? Me?! Hah! Parish the thought! Such a lowly existence, I would thank the person who took that life away!" Not that Lou believed it for a second... Even if it was true. "Ah, vampirism is a wonderful thing. I could never truly hate someone who gave me this gift." That could also be his narcissism speaking, however. "In fact, I've often speculated it might've been the woman who said my name." He could never be one hundred percent sure. It wasn't as if he asked. It took him awhile to get his faculties in place after he woke up, after all, and by that time she was gone with the wind.

The reaper rolled her eyes and then laughed. “Ya, no. Your feelings are anything but delicate…if you even have any.” She just shook her head, amused as he mimicked a ghoul, and then she grinned. “Excuse you. You are nastier. You will be rot-ridden by the time you are twenty.”
Hel shrugged. “Maybe they are looking in the wrong place?” She offered in a non-committal tone. Hel then kicked Lou, frowning. “Being a reaper is not lowly!” She cried. “We have way more advantages than the rest of you lot!” She paused though as he continued. “Oh! So it was a woman, huh?” She echoed. “Interesting…so maybe that is where your misogyny stems from!” She speculated cheerfully with a smile. “A woman used and abused you, and then threw you away, and now you run around trying to use and abuse any ghoul who blinks. I wonder why she did not stick around…I wonder why she left you…” Hel hummed, and rubbed her chin.
“Guess the easiest way to find out would just be to ask.”

True. It was very possible Lou didn't have any feelings. "Pshaw. I bet you clip your toenails the same way. Gnawing at them as if you were some demon goat on a mission." The kick just caused him to stumble forward, before his form fell apart into a handful of bats that rejoined on the wall. "Well, if they're not looking in the strip clubs and alleyways, I suppose they are looking in all the wrong places... But if they cared, I imagine they would've known I'd be there." This was all contingent upon whether he was really the same person he had been alive.
"And if being a reaper is so great, how come you all need to breathe?" Hell, he was dead. The only thing he really needed to do was drink blood and stay out of that infernal human sun. Nasty thing that sun was.
"Yes, a woman." Lou nodded, making a face as Hel strung together this elaborate story out of nowhere. "Sure, why not. If that's what floats your boat, I was a poor abused soul that is now the abuser. Why don't we add another twist and say she was my sister? Who was having an affair with the pool boy? I could go on. I do love a good soap opera."
Then the boil just planted his butt on the wall. "Well my dear chocolate ghoul, you lead the way to this mysterious woman, hm? You seem to know more about her than I do."

“Nah, I make my boil toy do my toe nails for me.” She retorted, and then snorted. Haaa yeah no. That was indeed gross, and for the record, Hel totally did use a nail clipper….except when she had a hang nail right now. The reaper blinked as Lou broke down into a flock of bats, and watched them all stream back into one form nearby on the wall. Huh! What an interesting ability…
“Because there is nothing like the feeling of fresh FEAR filling your lungs when you take a deep breath~” She replied, and then smirked as Lou continued on with her hypothesis. At his challenge, she just looked as smug as smug could be. “Alright.” She replied. “Where did you wake up exactly?”

"Well, he sounds like a whipped b***h. One reason why I'll remain single and ready to mingleee." Lou smirked as if proud of the fact that the only time a woman could stand to be around him was for sex... And even then it didn't always work out.
The vampire, while never not amused, did not seem nearly as amused as Hel. This was not something he'd ever cared to learn. Strange, considering he enjoyed learning new things. Oh well. "On a bunch of trash bags... Beeeehind a bar. I think. It smelled like a bar." The scent of loneliness, broken dreams, and fresh brew had filled the air. That he most definitely remembered. "Cheap bar. Nothing ritzy. Bad part of town. Not this town though." It was closer to the outskirts. Lou kicked his feet much like what Hel had been doing as he recalled his first few days. They were nothing but wandering, confusion, and a strange inner peace. Nothing could bother him because there was nothing in his head. Nothing but the instincts to be a complete d**k, that is.

At that comment, Hel snorted, and then busted out into outrageous laughter. Mac. A whipped b***h? Yeah right. Yeaaaaah right. He was far from that, actually…and Hel wouldn’t want him to be, anyways. That wouldn’t be fun. “Oh, he is not~” The ghoul replied, and that’s all she said on the matter. The ghoul listened as Lou described the place. Was it in HalloweenTown? Oh…wait…okay…on the outskirts of HalloweenTown. Hel wasn’t at all put off by the idea it was in a ‘bad area’, after all, she was the bad…or so she liked to think. Regardless, she’d march in there no problem…but… But… She wouldn’t right now. Why should she? This wasn’t her past, it was Lou’s…and if he wasn’t interested, why should she be? The ghoul stared at the vampire for a long time, before she looked off elsewhere, thinking. “Here is my life, in a nut shell: I came from what most would call the boonies…youngest of nine ghouls…the beings I called a family are that…ah…old world traditional. Arranged marriages, dowries and what not…really concerned about accomplishments and appearances. All my sisters are fair skinned and blonde, so I was the odd ball. Long story short, I resented it and everything so I cut them all out, and I want nothing to do with that anymore.” She leveled her look back at Lou. “Here is my point: that is where I came from, and now I know what direction I want to go in. The furthest from there.”

Lou had planned to scoff at her story from the minute she said 'here is my life'. Until she made her point, that is. Okay well. That was pretty valid.
The vampire stayed silent for a moment and tapped his chin. "Well, that's all good and fine, but right now I have nowhere I want to go. I like being who I am and any change in the formula just seems troublesome to me." The vampire admitted. He was as flat as flat characters come. Experiencing no changes to his person and affecting nobody on large levels. He was the token comic relief of bad situations.
"Let me pose to you this question: If you were truly happy where you were, would you make efforts to continue forward even if it meant foregoing that happiness?"

“Ahh…see I can not grasp that!” Hel admitted honestly, with a laugh. “I have always had somewhere I wanted to go…sometimes quickly, sometimes not…but I always want to keep going. I never want to stop…and I will keep moving forward, even if I have to crawl.” The reaper’s lips parted briefly, as Lou asked her a valid and serious question. Also, a question that had nothing to do with sex. Woah. Hel was silent for a long moment, and her brows furrowed. “…Huh.” The ghoul pushed herself up to her feet, standing on top of the reaper garden wall…and turned, walking away from Lou on the ledge. No, she wasn’t leaving. Hel was pacing. She needed to be active, because it helped her think. The reaper walked down until she reached the end, and then turned around and came back to the boil. “I am going to say…ya, I would.” Hel replied, looking down at the boil. “Here is why…because that happiness would fade eventually. Nothing lasts forever…so I would need to move forward to take a hold of and grasp a new happiness…or even…for it to evolve, yanno?”

"Just like I can't grasp your thinking." Lou followed up, eying her as she started pacing the fence.
Whether Lou acknowledged it or not, Hel would inevitably be right. Nobody could stay the same from birth to death. Not even him. "No, I don't know." It was obvious he was going to be completely stubborn about this. "Everything in my life is fine. I don't need to change anything, and I don't need to know about where I spawned from. I probably don't know for a reason." There had literally been no indications of his previous existence. Obviously, considering he had been completely naked.
"Everyone is so anxious to follow the normal path. Find a job, get married, have your own place.. It sounds so boring to me! Why have one thing to yourself forever when you can have multiple things once all the time?" He sampled different women, rested in hundreds of different cardboard boxes before amity, and pickpocketed from many people to get money for his spending habits. To him, there was no need to keep things... Besides his shoe collection. He did love those shoes.

The reaper looked a tad exasperated. “Ya…I think you do know.” The ghoul replied. She leaned, and tapped the vampire on the forehead. “Because despite how shallow your behavior is, I know you do think deeper.” How did Hel know? Because he was spouting some rather thought provoking material that one time in the grocery store. The ghoul leaned back, and cracked her neck, one side to the other, before she scoffed. “Who are you trying to convince with those words? Me? Or you? Plus, you do not even know what that reason is.” Hel shrugged. The normal path, huh? Hrm. Hel didn’t like to think of herself as normal…but the way Lou laid it out, it sure seemed like it, huh? “Creeple just want those things because it is stable…and expected out of most citizens.” Hel replied. “Just because I want those does not make me normal…nor make my life any less chaotic.” She grinned. “Those are just variables after all! What I do despite having them is a different story! I am going to have all those things, and my life is still going to be Jackin’ kick a** and action packed.” Hel flopped back down on the wall next to the vampire. “It is all about what you want to do with it. Those things do not shape me. I shape those things.”

It was a difficult feat to make Lou even the slightest bit angry, but Hel had somehow managed to crawl under his skin and poke at his mysterious innards. "I think you need to shut up." The vampire tilted his head, his smile losing its curve. "You're talking about me like I'm some complicated being with a hidden side." Though he wouldn't say he didn't. That may or may not be lying and he didn't lie. "Just because I'm not an illiterate idiot doesn't mean I make charts and diagrams to carefully plan out my day for the optimal torment of my peers. I could very well just be a simple man with no ambition and a fond love of the female form." He didn't like the idea that people may know how intelligent he was. If people knew he was smart, that he had more than one side to him, there was a good chance that the easy life would just float away.
With haste, Lou practically leapt back to his feet. "Wanna see an impression of you? Here's an impression of you. OHHH LOU. LOOK AT ME. I'M JUST ANOTHER WOMAN WHO WANTS TO CHANGE A MAN SO HE'LL BE BORING AND DULL LIKE EVERY OTHER WHIPPED SUCKER. BLA BLA BLAH. MY GENITALIA IS ON THE INSIDE OF MY BODY BLA BLA BLA." It was important to note that his feminine voice was pretty hilarious. "I THINK MY LIFE ISN'T NORMAL EVEN IF I'M AIMING FOR THE SAME GOAL AS ONE MILLION OTHER CREATURES IN HALLOWEEN, BLA BLA BLA. OH WON'T YOU SLEEP WITH ME SO I CAN BE WITH A REAL MAN?"

With Hel, anger usually resulted in anger…but as Lou… Lou of all beings went off on her, Hel just giggled. A very ghoulie like amused giggle. Jack, she had a real talent for pissing creeple off that usually didn’t get pissed off…she needed a medal, or to have a job at this or something. “Now you are just putting words in my mouth~” She replied in a sing song tone, and smiled. “Lou, life is only as difficult as you make it.” That was a principle she hung onto her first year that got lost until now. As the vampire then went on to ‘do an impression of her’ Hel just stared at him with a raised brow. Then she erupted into roaring laughter, because it was rather ridiculous, completely untrue…and that girly tone just…ugh. It was good for a laugh. “Ah, that is so funny!” She cried. “But completely untrue.” She reached up to rub her cheek, which was sore from all the grinning she was doing. She then made a motion of looking around. “I do not see any real men right now, but if you do, you will let me know, ya? Until then, I know right where my real man is~” She grinned up at the vampire.

Lou put his hands on his hips when the laughter began to echo throughout the campus. Great. Now she was laughing at him, not that he shouldn't have expected such a thing.
"Well s**t. If life is only as difficult as you make it, you must be a glutton for punishment. Didn't you used to have little flappy things?" Lou bent his arms back under his armpits and flapped his hands like they were wings, as if the mention of it hadn't been enough.
"Mhm. I think your perception of the opposite sex is just skewed. I bet the man you speak of is actually a woman." He could see her barking up that tree, being the strong, independent woman she appeared as. Was Lou stereotyping? You bet he was.
