Ronan got to his feet, brushing the dust off his jacket and looking a little reproachfully at Dashner.
Satisfied no harm had been done, he stared at the new ghoul, frowning a little as he looked up and tried to figure out where she'd come from.
Had she fallen? or jumped?
"Are you alright?" He asked, addressing Harry more so than the clearly unharmed pegasus ghoul.
"Are you still learning to fly?" He enquired innocently, assuming inability or lack of practice was the reason for the ghoul's plummet to earth.

When Dashner and Ronan exchanged looks, he shrugged. "At least you didn't get squashed," he shrugged again.
... Then he saw Peggy. Immediately his attention snapped to her, a flirty smirk on his face. "Oh, who's the pretty new ghoul?" he asked, walking up closer.

From underneath Peggy...
"I'm...cruel...kinda...not really. What's on me? It's as heavy as a centaur."

she looked to Dashner... and stepped closer
"ah, it's so nice to meet you, I'm..."
It was about that time that she heard Harry's comment.
"AS HEAVY AS A WHAT" she wheeled around to glare at him.

Harry brushed himself off as he stood. Jareth flew back to him and landed on one of his antlers.
"Don't get hacked off. I didn't kno-"
Harry stared at Peggy's rainbow hair.
"Whoa. Totally psychodelic! It's like a natural tie dyed do rag."

Peggy looked at him as if she was trying to size him up.
"thanks..... I like your antler things"
she turned back to Dashner and Ronan
"Hi, I'm Peggy."

"The name's Dashner, nice to meet you," he shook he hand, smiling. "You look rather nice. Can you fly? Were you jumping?"

"oh, I can fly"
she stretched her small wings out before tucking them back against her body.
"but sometimes extreme skydiving is the way to go"
"It's the way to get killed!" Heimdal piped up from inside her bag

"I can fly too!" he extended his medium sized wings before pulling them back behind his back.
"We should go flying some time," he smiled, looking at her hair. "I dig your hair as well."

ronan looked to Harry, back at dashner and shook his head.
He decided it was polite to make introductions.
"I am Ronan, this is Harry" he nodded to the antlered boo and extended a hand to Peggy. "so you often fall from the sky?" Frankly he was amazed she wasn't hurt after that collision. He had to agree with the sheep.

Jewels and Sally made their way toward town.
They hadn't gone far when a loud yell and a crash caught their attention.
"oh goodness" Jewels rushed over to the small group. "Iseveryoneaalright?" she gabbled, then paused.
Everyone seemed fine, which was a relief but here were two monsters she didn't recognise. She knew the selkie, he didn't have a good reputation, and of course few ghouls hadn't been the target of Dashner's charms.
"uh..." she wasn't sure what to say now. "h..hi?"
"Hello Jewels, Sally." Ronan cheerfully greeted them both. "how are you both?"
"Uh... f.. fine?" Jewels edged a little closer to Sally. "w.. we were on our way out."

Sally tilted her head. Looked like the boos had their hands full already. She nodded to Ronan and Dashner, "Hello Ronan, Dashner. Looks like your pretty busy today."
She glanced up at the two she didn't recognize and tilted her head. She didn't remember seeing them before, maybe they were brand new. Either that or she just hadn't met everyone yet. She didn't know either way.

Marceline had spent her day flying back into New Salem -- and as a monster without wings, she had to do so the more conventional way. That meant getting out of her tomb at an hour even she couldn't stand to rise, meticulously making sure everything she needed for the next scaremester was packed and ready, waiting around at the scareport until her flight was called... not to mention squeezing into a window seat next to a stone golem and a werewolf mother with a screaming pup on her lap and spending the next twenty minutes avoiding small talk to focus on her breathing before take-off. Flying caused her to be fangxious enough; making small talk with strangers only made that worse.
In a word, Marceline was tired. She pulled up to the doomitory in a hack-xi cab, half-asleep and uncharacteristically dressed down in a soft purple sweater and black leggings. She spotted several of her friends talking to a new ghoul outside the building and gave a quick wave, not having the energy to really stop and chat at the moment. A wave of "home free" feelings washed over her as she trudged up the stairs to the ghouls' side and headed toward her doomitory, where a winged ghoul waited at the door.
"Marceline!" Falconnie chirped. "There you are! I was thinking I was at the wrong door!"
"O-oh, Falconnie. Hello!" Marceline tried to sound happy through a yawn. "What can I do f'r you today?"
"Oh! I guess you just got in and haven't heard yet. There's some kind of infestation going on in the doomitory... they have it under control but some ghouls had to be moved around... soooo, we're doommates now!"
"D--doommates?" Marceline sighed. There goes the alone time she'd gotten used to all scaremester.
"Yeah, isn't that clawsome?" Falconnie grinned.
"Well, sure..." She forced a smile and unlocked the door. Of course, there were worse ghouls that could have been placed with Marceline -- Toralei and Vinnie Lovecraft came to mind -- but she had gotten so used to being alone that this almost seemed like a burden. Perhaps the feeling would pass with time...

Harry happened to glance down and noticed that a small plant had been crushed where Peggy had landed on top of him. He fell to his knees and lifted the crumpled plant slightly. In a slightly strangled voice, he intoned a totally groovy Earth prayer for the small fallen flower.
Dear Green Friend, we travellers on this totally cruel orb hurtling through the cosmos all have a limited time in life. But you, Leafy Quester for Sunlight and Water, were taken from us too soon. Please find peace in the Groovy Beyond.
Harry laid the small battered plant back down and wiped his eyes.

Falconnie frowned slightly, hoping Marceline would be more excited about having a roommate. Falconnie was one of the shy ghouls and not even she would want to be alone in the Doomitory!
Slowly, Falconnie got her bags over and everything settled back in. Marceline looked exhausted, and Falconnie closed the last drawer and turned to her.
"are you sure you don't want to take a nap or anything..?"
