[QUEST STUDENT LOOKING FOR TOUR]

Slaughter noticed the growing group nearby - and they had spookies. He wanted to stay at a safe distance and watch - but. Well. He pulled his hood back revealing a mess of multi-colored short hair and large round mostly pink ears.

He leaned in over one of their shoulders, "are those for everyone?"
He didn't wait for an answer before reaching to try and take a spookie. "I have a prehensile tail," this was his idea of an introduction. "It can do the wave. Wanna see?" If successful in his theft, he took a huge bite of the spookie.

Well today just sucked. And how the Jack did he get back here? Why were the gnomes so annoying?

Was that a tree? He stared at the ghoul wearing a visitor's pass tail flicking back and forth. She looked a little like a tree and like someone he felt he should recognize but he couldn't figure out where from.

But he heard her comment and couldn't resist correcting her. "Noo you don't, not unless you want insane things to happen to you daily."

[Quest Student]

Aloysious scanned the crowd for actual students offering guidance. Wow, the crowd had really grown during his first tour! He was pretty happy in a crowd, but he wanted to get as much exposure to Amityville as he could. The demon's eye was caught by a living shadow. It wasn't hard for him to admit to a bias toward darker colors overall... nothing wrong with flashy lights, but they tended to hurt his eyes. He adjusted his red glasses with mild consternation. Al wasn't sure how to catch her attention, as she didn't seem to have eyes! Though she WAS smiling and looked quite cheerful- he oozed his way through the press of bodies to the ghoul.
"Hi! Are you a student...?" he asked, smoothing down his ruffled clothes with a friendly smile and wave of his tail. "Oooo, I really LOVE your outfit!" he suddenly gushed, not the smooth introduction he'd intended, but genuine, at least...

Cava was feeling very disoriented, but he wasn't really showing it. He was just standing there, staring at everyone moving around him, and feeling very strange. Everyone seemed like they were in such a hurry.

He also didn't understand that part. Why bother hurrying, when it was such a nice day? Every day seemed relatively nice, in its own way, and if it wasn't nice at first it would be nice later in some regard, surely.

Cava stared upwards, for a while, his skin an even night sky.

He was feeling very relaxed. He wondered if he'd meet someone nice, and new.

"You too, Ezra." Amrita responded, using the name so she would remember it later. She waited for him to explain what he was searching for, and lightly stored away the other bits of information that explained further what had happened.

"Outdoor studies...Not particularly, unless you count the occasional class or self-directed learning. There are a few spots you can hide away with a textbook or two, but those are better found on your own. I like finding a sturdy tree to lean against, myself." She explained thoughtfully, looking off to the side as she conjured up mental images for her own benefit.

"No, the Library's a good place as any to start~" Amrita waved her hand, as if dismissing the worries the younger boil had. "It's a nice library, if you're a quiet creature." Which he definitely seemed to be. "We'll start there, then! This way~"

She gestured away from them, and soon started to work her way through the crowd, checking here and there to see if he was following.

The fireworks were lovely. Cava took a moment to appreciate the sparkling lights and the loud sounds, scanning the sky as though that was his only responsibility for the next ten years. He would, after his examination of the fireworks display, look down at the crowd again. But for now, he was-- being bumped into by a ghoul.

Cava reached one hand out to help her up. He was smiling at her. He was also wearing something that no one should ever wear, probably because he had never quite learned what the point of clothing was, and knew only that people generally frowned upon nudity. It was some kind of flowery sarong, and a novelty muscle shirt with a picture of a pigmy foxfire illogically captioned "I <3 spookies." He also had a wide array of bangles and necklaces. "Pretty? That is a kind compliment, thank you," Cava said, his voice smooth and quiet. "I am new, I would love a tour; this is all very much to take in," he added. He smiled.

He smiled with his mouth shut, because who knew what kind of teeth a cosmos elemental would have. His eyes sparkled, their white pinpricks of light brighter for a moment as he smiled.

Cava found himself continuously too slow to react to his guide, and found his hand being shaken in a manner he probably would have called violent. He also appeared to answer events in a strange sequence. "I have no name, only a title," he said first.

Secondly, he said: "I do not think this shirt... is mine," he tugged on it and tilted his head, as if trying to read it upside down. "My title is Cava Abyssus Caelitus... hollow of the heavenly abyss," he added, still staring at the spookies shirt while being tugged.

He looked up long enough to say: "Things? I know many things, what would you like to know?"

The tugging didn't seem to even sink in.
