Lou couldn't help but be a little surprised himself. Of course, the surprise didn't last very long. His arm moved from the arm rest on which it was placed to instead embrace Amphi. "More Lou for you, then."
His head turned back to look at Hel, tongue stuck out as if to say, 'I'm getting my way anyways.'
"Haha, that douche can ride a bike? I figured with his mental capacity they wouldn't even let him ride a tricycle." But at least she was happy, he guessed. Didn't take much to please her.
Heheh.
Oh, right. The town they were going to. "Uh. The kind with a lot of bars, a lot of undead, and a high crime rate. Funny, because it actually boarders on a little town with almost only reapers, if Greugle served me right."
At Hel's mention of cottages, the vampire's eyes lit up. "Oooo~ Lets have a sleepover. We can do our nails and talk about the ghouls we hate."

Amphi pretended that it didn't make her happy that Lou had delegated lovey dovey things to her, because he was doing it in front of Hel even. "I don't mind more Lou..." She blushed and then looked out the window like she hadn't even said that what the jack even was going on....
Her frown deepened at Lou, but didn't correct him. She wasn't quite sure what a douche was but..."He built the bike with his dad, and then rode it everywhere..." She hesitated, "He likes it very much."
Her attention turned to Hel, completely sidetracked from Town and returned to her usual happy smile...
"I wanna come to your cottage!!" She leaned over to Hel, "Can I stay for a couple of days!?"

Hel didn’t forget what Amphi talked to her about in the flower shop, and she just shot a rotten look at Lou and Amphi being all…gross. It wasn’t blatantly obvious…but Hel could see it. Besides, they couldn’t be like that if she was leaving her boilfriend for a few days! Not allowed.
Plus, she was sort of feeling like the ******** third wheel.
“There is not really a lot of Lou to go around.” She sneered. “With how shallow it is.”
She snorted though at the vampire’s referral of Roch, and mused for a moment how it had been a really, really, really long time since she seen or spoken to the punk Grim. Hm. What was he up to right now?
The reaper snapped back to as Lou talked about the town, and just nodded her head, before she immediately supplied him with a “No.” And then turned back to Amphi.
“Of course you can! You can stay for a week, and a lot!” She then leaned across the arm rest as well, leaning across Lou’s lap just like Amphi to purr at the ghoul.
“Because you are going to be my wife after all~” Little house wife.

Ohohoho! Lou liked that answer. "Well you can have as many servings of this beefcake that you can handle." Shameless, he was.
And shallow. Yes, Hel had hit that nail directly on the head. "It? I don't even deserve a gender anymore, huh?" Lou was more amused than anything, especially when both ghouls were leaning over him. "You're getting married? ...Can I watch you consummate it?" He looked back and forth from the ghouls with hopeful eyes.

"I still don't understand your beefcake saying..." She shook her head, long hair falling over her shoulder. "He's shallow? Like shallow waters?" She looked over at Lou and studied him...and studied him hard....
"I don't see them...I don't see Shallow waters...are you hiding them?" Amphi leaned even further, looking deep that she didn't even notice Hel joined, and then she was looking at Hel's face.
"Wife!" She waited, then her eyes widened..."But...you said at Ruth's...."

“More like a pasty cream puff lacking any filling.” Hel piped up from the other side. “Ya, no gender for you. You fell below that privilege of qualification—no.” Hel hissed back at Lou once he asked another stupid question.
She regarded Amphi once more. “Oh, that was just to throw her off!” Because Hel was like a sleuth or…slick or…something, which she really wasn’t. “I can give you everything you could want, Amphi~” Where was Mac/Mot/someone to keep Hel in check? She needed to be stopped.
Maybe she was wondering if Lou would do anything to stick up for her too…aside from just sitting there.

Amphi's innocence was adorable, especially when contrasted with Hel's obvious understanding of the situation as a whole.
Lou didn't argue with the cream puff comment, or really his unworthiness to affiliate himself with a gender. He was too interested in watching the ladies talk of future romantic endeavors. Would Lou try to stop this train before it wrecked? Nope, but he would certainly try to shoehorn himself into any of their future 'mischief'.
-----
As the excitement of a new journey wore off, however, the vampire became quiet for once. He stopped interjecting and instead turned his spiral eyes to what he could see of the window, watching as other cars and silhouettes of buildings passed the rickety bus. People boarded, people left, but they remained until they were the last group on the bus. Whether the two women went to sleep or not, Lou stayed awake. He didn't need to sleep, and even if he had wanted to on some whim, he was too...
Too something. The boil wasn't sure. It was like he was surrounded by a group of crotchety old ladies pinching him in unison. Maybe this was what they referred to as being 'nervous'. He tried to reason with himself that there was no point. Everything would go his way, as per the usual. Either that or it would just be a big dead end and nothing would change.
Not that... Anything would change anyways. No. Nothing would change. Nothing at all.
The loud sigh of the breaks and shriek of the door as it opened caught the boil off guard, spine stiffening as he shook his head and peered over the seat.
"Sheol. Last stop." The driver hissed.
Lou's description had done it no justice. If you were going to be robbed, it would most certainly be here. The flickering street lights and long, narrow, dark alleyways would see to that. Smelled about as good as the bus too.

Amphi's eyes widened even further. "Everything!?!?" The mermaid gasped and leaned back, "I will take precious time to think about that then!" Not because of everything but cause being married to Hel was very serious....
---
Soon enough, Amphi had fallen asleep, resting her head against Lou and not bothering to look outside. All the excitement and bouncing and chatter with Lou and Hel tuckered her out.
Until the bus came to a halt and they were being ushered off.
Sleepily, she rubbed an eye, reaching for Lou's sleeve and looking around with a simple and rare blunt moment of honesty...
"This place looks like a s**t hole." Amphi blinked and yawned.

Hel was content to chatter until the conversation lulled, and surprisingly enough, she was rather quiet as well, but she didn’t go to sleep. As the bus went on and on, and more creeple got off, the ghoul eventually moved across the aisle to the other row of empty seats and claimed herself a window seat. The reaper stayed awake the entire time, and just rested her chin in her hand as the scenery rolled on by. Traveling always lulled her into a calm of sorts, and she mused about things. As the scenery shifted though, a roll of anxiety went through her gut. She was leaving Amityville in about a month…what was she doing traveling away from it right now? The feeling was pushed aside though, as they reached their last stop, and Hel leapt to her feet and whipped down the aisle after the two. “Jack, last ones on this thing? Jeepers.” She got off the bus, and her expression went blank for a moment as she took in the town. She then grinned, and cracked her knuckles in preparation. Bring it. Was pretty much what her posture said at the unspoken challenge. Hel was always in the mood to brawl. “Where to now, Zebra?” That was you, Lou.

Lou couldn't help but snicker at Amphi's observation as the bus peeled away from the stop like it had somewhere better to be. One could only assume they did, considering anywhere looked (and smelled) better than here. "A s**t hole indeed. I suppose it's not surprising that this was where my humble beginnings were." In other words, the s**t didn't fall far from the... Hole.
That was terrible. I'm sorry.
Luckily for the two ghouls, Lou had taken the liberty of printing out more than just one map. "Now, tit-tanic-" Lou began and offered them their own copy of the map. "We split up and cover more ground. We've got a lot of bars to investigate. Report your findings by text."
... He had also taken the liberty of drawing more than one huge-boobed red-headed stick figure. Goodie. "Do your best! Try not to get shanked!" Quote: DICE ROLL TEIMRoll that b***h (1d20) and respond accordingly: 1: You walk into a bar. No, literally. Too busy taking in the awful sites, you accidentally introduce your face to that lovely pole with all the missing minipet and people posters. Everybody who saw laughs at you. Way to go champ. Although, you may or may not notice one faded out poster with a boil in stripes. None of the writing is legible (other than the largely printed MISSING at the top), and the picture is blurry at best with no real features visible, but the stripes are hard to miss. 2-5: You walk into a bar (for real this time). Immediately all surrounding patrons look back and give you a nasty sneer as you approach the bartender, who seems equally pleased by your presence. It's obvious by his short, beligerent, and generally offensive answers that you'll have to beat it out of them. BAR FIGHT! Grab a chair and break it over someone's head! Eventually they decide to cooperate and tell you that your princess is in another castle... Or bar. Oh well, at least you smashed that one guy's kneecaps. 6-10: You walk into a... Bar? Hard to tell with all the rainbows, kittens and unicorns plastered around every corner. The fabulous zombie bartender in the pink fishnets is happy to see you, and invites you to sit down and stay awhile, because the fashion show is about to start. All in all, everybody you question is friendly (some a little too friendly), but none seem to have any idea who your mystery lady could be. With heavy hearts, they see you off and wish you the best on your journey... Even if you're just walking next door. 11-15: You walk into a bar. A bar that... Apparently serves nothing but milk. It's what a young people need to fuel an adventure as important as yours, right? You may or may not notice how clean their language is, choosing to say 'fiddlesticks' and 'piddlypoops' instead of actual expletives. At the very least, everyone seems honest when they tell you they know nothing, and the bartender is nice enough to send you along with a glass of milk saying 'It's dangerous to go alone, take this!' Yeah. Thanks a*****e. 16-20: You walk into a normal bar. A boring, almost run-of-the mill bar with a normal pool table, normal, somewhat scruffy patrons, and a crotchety old man of a bartender. You show him the picture, and though you get a snort out of him at first, he lifts a shaking finger and points to one of the darker back corners. There sits a woman with wavy red hair, a light brown cowl with gold embroidery draped over her head. While her boobs are quite normal, and her features are somewhat obscured by the shadow of her hood, you have a good feeling that you've just found lady luck. Now the question is: Do you call for reinforcements... Or attempt to interrogate her yourself?

Amphi nodded and then stretched. "I'll try not to get lost..." Why was Lou giving the mermaid a map to anywhere, it's not like she was going to read it. Lou, Amphi didn't do good with directions and maps and stuff...
She opted for tucking the map away and hiking her backpack up higher.
She immediately went to the first thing she saw. A lighthearted bar with a lighthearted bartender that ushered her in immediately.
"Fiddlesticks! Little ghoul lost and on the loose!" The bartender teased and gestured her over to a bar counter. "Here you go kid, Have some milk. What brinks you to my joint?"
Amphi looked at the milk, taking it with both hands and drinking heavily. mmm Milk, that was nice after the long trip. Refreshing...Wait...She was suppose to be doing something...
"I'm looking for this woman!" She brought the stick figure out and slapped it down. "She knows something about my...uh...boil." yeah her boil..."I need to find her?"
The bartender looked at it, then back up to Amphi and shook his head. "She's not the type to come to this place probably, I'd look elsewhere little one..." He hesitated before pulling out a bottle of milk and pushing it towards her, "Take that for the road! It'll keep you safe if you need."Quote: 11-15: You walk into a bar. A bar that...

She was only half listening to Lou until she heard ‘Tit-tanic’ and she immediately piped up. “HEY! That ship split into two pieces and sank and—“ Wait. Wait, it hit her. “ Oh…well lookit you… so clever.” Because Amphi and her were splitting up…or was she giving Lou too much credit…hrm. She took the map and snorted at the crude drawing, and then looked back at the two. “Ya…and Amphi…just keep being cute and batting your lashes, alright?” She gave them a salute, and then peeled off from the rest of the group. Hel would be very disappointed when she burst through the doors of a boring ol’ bar…with nothing rowdy going on. “Awwwww man.” She groaned, looking very disappointed as well that nothing was going on. Oh well. She marched up to the bar and managed her best poker face as she showed the crude drawing to the bar tender. “Oi. Old man. Have you seen this broad?” The reaper was honestly expecting a ‘no’, so color her surprised when he pointed at a corner. Hel turned her head, squinted, and then blinked. Huh. She was really good at this sleuth thing. Not really.Hel looked down at the picture, then back at the woman, and then back down at the picture again. Yeah…seemed semi-accurate…kinda. Regardless, Hel tucked the map away and sent a text to both Amphi and Lou that she found the lady and what bar she was located at. That finished, Hel dropped her phone down the front of her shirt into her bosom, and strode across the room confidently to approach the woman. “Hey.” She greeted, and oh so boldly just grabbed a chair, spun it around, and then straddled it as she scooted it closer to the table. Hel rested her arms across the top of it, and peered at the woman. “I know this boil who is looking for you…so I hope you were not leaving any time soon…” The way Hel spoke though, it clearly implied she wasn’t going anywhere.

The woman's figure stood remarkably still as Hel approached, only moving her dainty hands to claim the half-empty mug in front of her.
After the reaper was done, the woman threw back her hood, chugged the last bit of cider, and slammed down the now empty container.
With her face uncovered, one could see that she was very lovely. Freckles decorated her pale cheeks and green eyes contrasted against her deep, blood red hair...
... She was also, apparently, inebriated.
"Ghoul, I tell you what. You fill this up with 'ol Larry's finest cider and I'll stick around until hell freezes." She pushed the mug over towards the valkyrie and rested her head in her hands, elbows propped on the table. "It's been awhile since I've been solicited so boldly. You really know how to make an old gal feel special." A wink and a smile followed her words. "What's he look like? Tall? Dark? Handsome?" Her eyebrows waggled... Much in the same way a certain vampire's did.
(( Lou will come in next post ))

Hel wasn’t sure what to expect, but that was maybe one of the good things about Hel was that, for the most part, she rolled well with the unexpected. She blinked as the woman threw back her hood and then chugged her cider, and the reaper took that time to just study her. She had a strong connection to Lou…Jack, hopefully staring at her long enough would reveal all about that vampire douche. Regardless, even if the woman was inebriated, the ghoul grinned. Apparently she could keep her around until Lou and Amphi got here, all through the use of alcohol. Alright then. Hel picked up the mug and waved it around in the air, looking back over her shoulder. “YO, OLD MAN! Larry’s finest cider for the darkling in the corner!” Hel, was rude enough to make him come bring one to them, because Hel didn’t want this lady out of her sight for even a moment. She needed to see what Lou would do from here on, after all, once he got here. The ghoul waved the mug around still, but turned her gaze back to the woman. “Old?” Hel parroted. “Why, screecheart, you are more youthful appearing and beautiful than half the ghouls back at Amityville Academy!” Well, maybe that wasn’t true, but Hel could lay it thick for now. She snorted a bit as she asked about Lou. “Well…more like tall, stripped, and douche.” She also didn’t miss that eye brow waggle.

Amphi was just out of the first bar when Hel texted her phone, switching feet around and keeping the milk bottle close to her, she headed to the very normal, very odinary bar.
"Hi!" Amphi waved at the bartender who just stared at her, then watched as she bounced over to Hel and took a seat next to the reaper.
Her attention was drawn to the red haired lady, studying her carefully.
"You look just like the picture!" Amphi put her bottle of milk on the table and took the drawing out. "Wow Hel, You're the best!" Then batted pretty blues of admiration and respect at the valkyrie.
"Do you know about Lou Miss.....red...hair....ghoul?" Amphi leaned forward, "What's a douche?"
